Formula 1 just made a deal to keep the Mexico Grand Prix around until 2028. The race has been on the calendar since 2015 and has become a fan favorite, drawing a record 405,000 spectators last year. The promoters, CIE, were confident that interest in the event would remain high, even after Sergio Perez left Red Bull and F1.
The new contract means that the Mexico City Grand Prix will continue for at least three more years. Alejandro Soberon, the president and CEO of CIE, expressed his excitement about the extension. He thanked the Government of Mexico City and F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali for their support in keeping the event alive.
Domenicali also shared his excitement about the continued partnership, praising the energy and passion of the Mexican fans. The unique atmosphere in Mexico City during the race weekend is always a highlight of the championship.
Last year’s race was memorable for the intense battle between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris, with Carlos Sainz clinching a victory for Ferrari. This year’s event is scheduled for October 26, following the United States Grand Prix in Austin. The Brazilian Grand Prix will be a standalone event after the Mexican race.
Overall, the future looks bright for the Mexico City Grand Prix, with fans eagerly anticipating more thrilling races in the years to come.
