The Mexican Grand Prix was first held in 1962 as a non-championship race at Magdalena Mixhuca before becoming part of the Formula 1 World Championship in 1963. The circuit was later renamed Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in honor of Mexican racing legends Ricardo and Pedro Rodríguez. Located in Mexico City, the track is distinguished by its high-altitude setting at over 2,200 meters (7,200 feet) above sea level, which affects aerodynamics, tire wear, and engine performance. The event has had multiple interruptions throughout its history but returned to the F1 calendar in 2015 after a 23-year absence.

The track layout combines long straights with technical corners, including the famous Foro Sol stadium section, where fans create one of the most vibrant atmospheres in Formula 1. The main straight allows cars to reach speeds of over 350 km/h (217 mph), making it one of the fastest on the calendar. The Mexican Grand Prix has played a crucial role in championship battles, with Lewis Hamilton securing his titles there in 2017 and 2018. Max Verstappen has also demonstrated dominant performances at the circuit, further solidifying its importance in the F1 season.
