The Mexico City Grand Prix will stay on the calendar of motor racing's iconic Formula 1 through the 2028 campaign, through a three-year extension.
A deal beginning next season was formally announced yesterday, having initially been reported via media earlier this week, ensuring the race will continue at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City.

The previous contract, unveiled in late 2022, had been due to expire after the ongoing 2025 season. Overall, the Mexico City venue has hosted F1 action every year (except for the Covid-affected 2020 campaign) since 2015.
The 2024 Mexico City Grand Prix, won by Ferrari's Carlos Sainz, broke an attendance record, with 405,000 people in total attending the event (including practice sessions, qualifying, and the race itself).
This year's Grand Prix, meanwhile, will take place as the 2025 F1 season enters its final swing, on October 26.
Stefano Domenicali, president and chief executive of Formula 1, has said: "We are very excited to announce that the Mexico City Grand Prix will continue to be part of our calendar until 2028.

By GlobalData"Formula 1 is energy, passion, and emotion, and every year the unique atmosphere created by our fans in Mexico City is one of the most incredible and energetic experiences of our championship."
F1 has been consolidating its future race calendar with several host contract renewals, most recently in January with the iconic Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps. That race will be held four years out of six between 2026 and 2031, with other venues taking its slot in the 2028 and 2030 seasons.
This represents the first rotational deal of this kind agreed between F1 and a host venue. Spa-Francorchamps' previous hosting contract had been due to come to an end following the 2025 season.
Last November, meanwhile, hosting rights renewals took place covering the (equally iconic) Monaco and Monza circuits.
The 2025 F1 season, featuring 24 races (the maximum that can be allocated, through the contracts between the 10 teams and F1, is 25), began in Australia in mid-March and runs through to Abu Dhabi in early December. The Miami Grand Prix comes next, set for May 4.
Alejandro Soberon Kuri, the president and CEO of the Mexico City venue's operators, added: "This not only contributes to the economic development of Mexico City, but also promotes our city, as well as our country, in a significant way worldwide. Together, we will continue to work hard to ensure that fans get the most out of an event that offers a unique live entertainment experience, and which for almost 10 years has shown the world the quality of the events we organize in this city.”
Before 2015, the Mexico City venue hosted F1 action in multiple stints, including for the 1986-92 cycle.
