In 1959. The father of Mexico’s most famous racing brothers, Ricardo and Pedro Rodriguez, was an advisor to Mexican President Adolfo Lopez Mateo, and had a word in his boss’s ear about building a racing circuit in Mexico City’s Magdalena Mixiuhca sports park using the existing internal roads. El Presidente liked the idea, and work on the track was completed in under a year. The Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez sits over 2km above sea level, making the 4.3km lap a breathless experience. The track still largely follows the outline of the original 1959 circuit, the main difference being that the spectacular – and spectacularly scary – Peralta corner is now bisected, with the circuit instead winding through the old Foro Sol baseball stadium, providing one F1’s most unique vistas. Welcome to the exhilarating Mexico City Formula 1 Circuit, a masterpiece of speed and precision nestled within the vibrant metropolis. This iconic track, officially known as the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, boasts a thrilling combination of long straights, challenging chicanes, and tight hairpin turns, offering a true test of skill for drivers and a heart-pounding spectacle for spectators.
