How the Mexico City GP became F1’s ultimate fiesta

The Mexico City Grand Prix celebrates its triumphant 10-year return to the F1 calendar, evolving into a unique festival that blends sport, culture, and national pride. Known for its electrifying atmosphere where crowd noise often rivals engine roars, particularly in the iconic Foro Sol stadium section, the event has become a highly anticipated fixture for drivers and fans alike. The city transforms into a vibrant celebration, with streets buzzing with music and marigolds, leading up to the Day of the Dead. This passion for F1 runs deep in Mexico, honoring legends like the Rodríguez brothers and, more recently, national hero Sergio Pérez, whose upcoming return with Cadillac F1 promises a new chapter. The high-altitude circuit also presents a unique challenge for both man and machine.
