F1 has officially extended the Mexico City Grand Prix’s place on the racing calendar through 2028. They announced a new three-year contract extension with the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez circuit. This move secures the future of one of the sport’s most exciting and well-attended events.
The previous agreement for the Mexico City Grand Prix was set to expire after the 2025 season, leading to the end of such a vibrant and local favourite event. Nevertheless, the event’s popularity has earned it a strong backing from both federal and local governments.
