What time is the 2026 Mexico City GP and how can I watch it?

Formula 1 heads straight to Mexico City for the 19th round of the 2026 season following last weekend's action in Austin. Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli dominated in Texas and is now on the brink of capturing a historic Drivers' championship at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, with only teammates George Russell and Lewis Hamilton mathematically able to stop him. Track action kicks off with Free Practice 1 on Friday, October 30, at 12:30 local time, followed by Free Practice 2, FP3 on Saturday, and Qualifying at 15:00. The Mexico City Grand Prix race will take place on Sunday, November 1, at 14:00. Fans can catch all sessions live through F1 TV Pro and F1 TV Premium in 4K Ultra HD, or follow live timings on F1.com and the official F1 app. Set in the vibrant atmosphere often coinciding with Dia de Muertos, the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez presents unique technical challenges due to its high altitude, demanding specialized cooling solutions for both cars and brakes. While the weekend is expected to be warm and sunny overall, the threat of potential showers during Friday's practice sessions means teams will need to keep a close eye on the weather.
