The Mexico City Grand Prix has extended its contract with Formula 1 to ensure it continues hosting the world’s premier motorsport through 2028.
F1 returned to Mexico City in 2015, and the race has become widely popular with fans.
Last year’s event drew in a Mexico City record 405,000 spectator crowd across the weekend, but there was speculation Sergio Perez’s absence from F1 in 2025 could jeopardise the race’s future.
Any fears of that have been quashed, with the event securing a three-year extension to guarantee F1 racing in Mexico until at least 2028.
“We are very excited to announce that the Mexico City Grand Prix will continue to be part of our calendar until 2028,” said F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali.
“Formula 1 is energy, passion and emotion, and every year the unique atmosphere created by our fans in Mexico City is one of the most incredible and energetic experiences of our championship.
“I want to express my sincere thanks to President Claudia Sheinbaum for her strong commitment to Formula 1, to the Head of Government Clara Brugada for her continued support and to Alejandro Soberón Kuri, whose leadership has been fundamental to the success of this event.
“I also want to thank the local stakeholders and businesses that share our vision and who make this event so special.”
Alejandro Soberón Kuri, President and CEO of CIE, added: “We are very excited to announce that the Mexico GP will be held for three more years. We are deeply grateful for the invaluable support of the Government of Mexico City, from the Head of Government of Mexico City, Clara Brugada, to our President, Claudia Sheinbaum, as well as Stefano Domenicali from Formula 1, who have made it possible to continue bringing Formula 1 to our country.
“This not only contributes to the economic development of Mexico City, but also promotes our city, as well as our country, in a significant way worldwide.
“Together, we will continue to work hard to ensure that fans get the most out of an event that offers a unique live entertainment experience, and which for almost 10 years has shown the world the quality of the events we organise in this city.”
F1 will return to the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez on October 24 -26.
