Preview the 2025 Formula 1 Mexican Grand Prix

The 2025 Formula 1 season heads to the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez for the Mexico City Grand Prix, Round 20 of 24, on October 24-26, returning to a traditional race weekend format after the Austin Sprint. The core challenge remains the circuit’s altitude, sitting over 2,200 meters above sea level. This thin air drastically reduces aerodynamic downforce, forcing teams to run Monaco-level high-downforce wings while paradoxically achieving high top speeds on the 1.2 km main straight due to reduced drag.

Max Verstappen is the clear favorite, having won five of the last seven races here, and comes in hot after cutting Oscar Piastri’s championship lead to just 40 points. While McLaren’s Piastri and Lando Norris have faced recent struggles, Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz are expected to be strong contenders; Leclerc finished P3 in the last two editions. Pirelli has opted for a ‘compound jump’ (C2/C4/C5), which is expected to prompt an intense tactical decision between a one-stop (using the hard C2) or a quicker but higher-risk two-stop strategy (using the C4 and C5) due to pronounced tire graining. Local hero Pato O’Ward will also feature, driving the McLaren in Free Practice 1.
