 Racing Point Driver Sergio Perez [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sergio-perez/] can rejoice as he may have a home Grand Prix in the coming years. This is because, Mexico’s future on the Formula 1 calendar could soon be secured as reports say that a new contract will be signed. The mayor of Mexico City, Claudia Sheinbaum [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claudia_Sheinbaum] confirmed that she will be signing a new Formula 1 contract on Thursday. The Mexican Grand Prix returned to the F1 calendar in 2015 after nearly 20 years. It wasn’t long before it quickly became one of the sport’s most popular races, especially with local favourite, Sergio Perez racing there. However, the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez faced an uncertain future after the country’s president Andrés Manuel López Obrador suggested that funding would be cut. He revealed that the funds would be redirected to support a mobility programme in Mexico City. The good news for Formula One fans is that negotiations have led to an agreement between the race organisers and F1. So, it won’t be long before it leads to a new contract being signed for the grand prix on Thursday with FIA president Jean Todt. The extension of the Mexican Grand Prix contract means the F1 calendar is set to reach a record-breaking 22 races in 2020. This is because, there will be two new events added to the Formula One calendar. The new venues will be in Vietnam and the Netherlands, with the only casualty being the German Grand Prix. So far, there have been talks of numerous locations being floated around as potential F1 venues. Only recently, Liberty Media confirmed that they were in talks with Saudi Arabia for a future F1 race. The F1 owners also confirmed that they were aiming for 25 races in a season. At the rate at which they are going, that figure is highly likely.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Mexican Grand Prix 2023 - Latest News, Winners, Qualifying, Circuits, Track</h2>
Hola race fans! Ever wondered about the story behind the ever-vibrant Mexican Grand Prix? Well, it's time to rev up your engines, because we're taking a lap down memory lane!

The Mexican Grand Prix zoomed onto the scene as a non-championship event in 1962 at the Magdalena Mixhuca circuit. Picture this: an international racetrack nestled in a park in the bustling heart of Mexico City, reminiscent of the iconic Monza in Italy. This circuit, standing proud at a dizzying 7350 ft above sea level, was not just a racetrack. It was a thrilling rollercoaster, replete with bumps, and a jaw-dropping 180-degree Peraltada corner.

[caption id="attachment_820037" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-820037" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-11-07T212202Z_1795895841_UP1EHB71NCO3W_RTRMADP_3_MOTOR-F1-MEXICO.jpg" alt="Sergio Perez" width="1920" height="1314" /> Formula One F1 - Mexico City Grand Prix - Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, Mexico City, Mexico - November 7, 2021 Third placed Red Bull's Sergio Perez celebrates on the podium REUTERS/Edgard Garrido[/caption]

In its debut year, <strong>Jim Clark</strong> snatched a win for <strong>Team Lotus</strong> in a race that witnessed a poignant moment: the loss of the rising Mexican star, <strong>Ricardo Rodr?guez</strong>.?Fast cars, swift passes, heartbeats syncing with the roar of the engines... and a couple of crowd control issues. By 1970, the race's popularity exploded, drawing a whopping 200,000 spectators. But with great fame came great challenges. Bottles on the track, postponements, and yes, a canine cameo led to the event's temporary cancellation.

The event saw a resurgence at the <strong>Aut?dromo Hermanos Rodr?guez</strong> in 1986. Named in honor of racing siblings <strong>Ricardo</strong> and <strong>Pedro Rodriguez</strong>, this circuit, despite its bumpy rides, saw the likes of Gerhard Berger and Alain Prost take home the trophy.

Yet, after 1992, the roar of the engines went silent in Mexico City...until 2015, when it made a grand comeback. This time, with a touch of modernity by the circuit guru, Hermann Tilke. Cutting the Peraltada in half, the track now ventures into the old Foro Sol baseball stadium, offering fans a unique F1 panorama.

[caption id="attachment_1292409" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-1292409" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2022-10-30T221949Z_1521682455_UP1EIAU1Q0ZPT_RTRMADP_3_MOTOR-F1-MEXICO.jpg" alt="Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez on Mexican GP podium" width="1920" height="1236" /> Formula One F1 - Mexico City Grand Prix - Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, Mexico City, Mexico - October 30, 2022 Red Bull's Max Verstappen celebrates on the podium after winning the race with second placed Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton and third placed Red Bull's Sergio Perez REUTERS/Edgard Garrido[/caption]

Nestled in one of the globe's most vibrant cities, the Mexican Grand Prix is where sports meets culture. The heart-thumping action at the Aut?dromo is just a metro ride away from the cultural fiesta of downtown Mexico City. And if you're looking for the best seat in the house? Dive into the pulsating energy of the Foro Sol, where the podium celebrations are nothing short of legendary.

Now, gear up, folks! The 2023 Mexican Grand Prix is slated for Sunday, October 29, with 71 adrenaline-filled laps over a 2.674-mile circuit. Will <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lewis-hamilton/https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/valtteri-bottas/">Valtteri Bottas</a>' lap record of 1:17.774 withstand this year's fierce competitors? Only time will tell!

So, if you've not marked your calendar yet, it's time to do so. The Mexican Grand Prix is not just a race; it's an emotion, a legacy, and an experience of a lifetime!

<h2 style="text-align: center">Mexican Grand Prix Circuit Details</h2>
<strong>Location:</strong> The <strong>Aut?dromo Hermanos Rodr?guez</strong> is a 4.304 km (2.674 miles) race track in Mexico City, situated within the Magdalena Mixhuca Sports City public park.

<strong>Namesake:</strong> The circuit is named in memory of Mexican racing brothers, Ricardo and Pedro Rodr?guez. Ricardo tragically died during practice for the non-Championship 1962 Mexican Grand Prix, and Pedro faced a similar fate nine years later.

<strong>History:</strong> In 2001, the track underwent significant renovations. Despite announcements in 2012 and a listing in 2014, the Mexican Grand Prix only officially returned to the F1 calendar in 2015.?The circuit has also hosted NASCAR and A1 Grand Prix races, with notable winners like Martin Truex Jr., Denny Hamlin, and Juan Pablo Montoya.

<strong>Unique Features:</strong> Designed by <strong>?scar Fern?ndez</strong> in 1953, the circuit's thin air reduces aerodynamic drag, allowing higher downforce setups. Due to its elevation of 2,238 m (7342 ft), the track's thin air presents challenges for both drivers and cars. The track's design includes a fast final corner called the Peraltada, reminiscent of Monza's Parabolica curve. For F1's return in 2015, the track underwent significant modifications under <strong>Hermann Tilke's</strong> direction. The modern F1 cars have reached speeds over 370 km/h on the main straight.

<strong>Events and Festivals:</strong> Apart from motorsport events, the racetrack hosts the Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC Mexico), a massive music festival.

<strong>History</strong>

The Formula One World Championship first started back in 1950. The very first F1 champion was Italy's Guiseppe Farina who raced for Alfa Romeo.

The sport has had 33 different champions in its history and a few of them are multiple championship winners. Currently, the driver with the most championships is <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/michael-schumacher/">Michael Schumacher</a> with 7 under his belt. However, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/mercedes">Mercedes</a> driver <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lewis-hamilton/">Lewis Hamilton</a> will be eager to overhaul that. Hamilton currently holds 6 World Championships and stands on the cusp of equalling Michael Schumacher's record at the end of the season.

For a long time, Bernie Ecclestone was the F1 supremo, having founded the Formula One Group. He?spent 40 years as chief executive of the company after gaining control of the commercial rights.

But in 2017, he stepped down and ownership was handed to Liberty Media who have been taking care of F1 since then. To herald their control, they even changed the F1 logo.

Chase Carey was the first F1 CEO in the 'liberty era' of F1 and will be stepping down at the end of the year. Former Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali will succeed the American in 2021.
