Practice, qualifying and the race all land from 30 October to 1 November, and here's how to make sure you don't miss a lap in the thin Mexico City air.
The Formula 1 circus rolls into the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez from 30 October to 1 November, and UK-based fans have a full slate of broadcast options to follow the Mexico City Grand Prix from first practice to the chequered flag.
Coverage runs across the whole race weekend, with the build-up, the track sessions, qualifying and the Grand Prix all on the schedule. Television, radio and online options are available, so you can watch at home, listen on the move, or keep up from your phone. Check your local listings for exact start times, since the time difference with Mexico means some sessions fall at awkward hours.
The venue is a big part of the story. Mexico City sits more than 2,200 metres above sea level, and the thin air changes everything. Engines and brakes work harder to stay cool, and downforce is harder to find. Teams often run their cars in a very different setup from the one they use elsewhere, so practice is worth watching to see who has cracked it early.
The stadium section of the track is another highlight. Packed grandstands and a loud, colourful crowd make this one of the most atmospheric stops on the calendar, and the long run down to the first corner regularly produces opening-lap drama.
Whether you're a dedicated fan who watches every session or a casual viewer dropping in for race day, plan your weekend around the schedule and settle in. Mexico City rarely disappoints.
