The Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez sits 2,240 m above sea level, the highest circuit in Formula 1. The thin air robs the engines and the wings of grip, giving huge top speeds down the long main straight but tricky braking and cooling all weekend. Its 4.304 km lap of 17 corners runs through a city park and dives into the old Foro Sol baseball stadium for a unique grandstand-lined section.
First raced in 1963 and back on the calendar since 2015, Mexico City pairs one of the longest straights of the year with a tight, twisty infield. Pole laps run into the 1:16s.
