What’s on at the 2025 Mexico City Grand Prix – Full race schedule, music, food, fan experiences and more
From live music and mariachi bands to racing simulators and street-food stalls, the 2025 Mexico City Grand Prix is more than just a race. Here’s your guide to what’s happening on and off the track this weekend at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.
High in the heart of Mexico City, the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez delivers one of the most colourful weekends on the Formula 1 calendar.
The altitude gives everything a different rhythm: engines sound sharper, the air feels thinner, and the whole event buzzes with an unmistakable energy. From the stadium roar within Foro Sol to the bursts of colour and sound around every corner, it’s a Grand Prix that feels more like a festival than a race.
While home favourite Sergio Perez won’t take to the track this year, anticipation is already building for his 2026 return with Cadillac alongside Valtteri Bottas. Until then, fans can expect a weekend full of music, culture, and that signature Mexican warmth that makes this stop one of F1’s most unforgettable races. Here's everything you need to know about what's on at the track this weekend...
