We’ve got the Mexican Grand Prix for a while! Clara Brugada, head of the Mexico City government, announced this Thursday at a press conference that the Formula 1 contract for the race in Mexico City has been extended.
“We’ll announce the Formula 1 deal on April 30th, meaning next week we’ll be signing the agreement with F1, so that’s good news.”
However, the politician didn’t reveal further details, instead saying it’s not until after the contract is signed. “Oh, we’ll make it public on April 30th. We’ll let you know by then, otherwise, why bother?” she stated.
Although, by regulations of the organization of the “Gran Circo,” the contract for the F1 Mexican Grand Prix extends until 2028, that is, three more years. So, now that “Checo” Pérez is in talks with Cadillac to return, do you think we’ll see him race at the Autódromo Hermano Rodríguez once again?
When is the 2025 Mexican Grand Prix?
The F1 season has already begun, and some Asian circuits have already been visited, such as the Japanese GP, where Yuki Tsunoda made his debut with Red Bull, and the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, where Piastri took the lead in the drivers’ championship.
But, without a doubt, one of the most anticipated by fans in our country is the Mexican GP, which for 2025 is scheduled for the weekend of Friday, October 24th to Sunday, October 26th.
This includes free practice, qualifying, and the race being held on Sunday.
Are there still tickets for the 2025 Mexican Grand Prix?
The presale and general sale of tickets for the 2025 Mexican Grand Prix began on November 12th (that’s right, almost a year before the race).
We hope you were lucky when it came to getting your tickets because… they’re already sold out.
“Tickets to attend the 2025 Mexican Grand Prix were sold out due to the huge response from fans to witness the race marking the tenth anniversary of Formula 1’s return to the country,” Formula 1 reported in a statement.
