About the Circuit
Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez
Built in 1959, Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez first hosted the Mexican Grand Prix in 1962. The circuit was used on and off since 1962, but returned for modern racing in 2015 and has been used in every F1 season since. Because Mexico City is 2.2 km above sea level, the thin air impacts both the drivers and the cars. Teams are able to use high-downforce set-ups with little impact on straight line speed. The circuit has 17 turns and 2 DRS zones. Turn 17 is named in honour of Nigel Mansell, 2x Mexican GP winner.
