Mexico F1 Track Guide

Mexico Circuit Map & Guide

A popular location for F1 racing in the 80s and early 90s, the Mexican GP returned to the calendar in 2015 at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez in Mexico City and has not looked back since. The circuit has been revamped and has provided some exciting racing since its return. Thanks to the ever-increasing popularity of F1 in the Americas and the success of local hero Sergio Perez, the atmosphere at the Mexican GP is among the best on the calendar. A unique challenge for drivers and teams alike, the track is some 2,240m above sea level and has one of the longest straights on the calendar – the main straight being 1.2km – meaning teams have to juggle engine performance and reliability all weekend long.
While each of our Mexican Grand Prix Packages comes with a pre-defined grandstand ticket, we’ve created this Mexican F1 Track guide to help you choose an alternative.

Mexico F1 Circuit Map - Hermanos Rodrigues

Grandstand: MAIN

Perched right at the beginning of the lap and directly opposite the entire pit building, the Main Grandstand is a giant stand that gives you amazing views of the 1.2km start/finish straight and pitlane. Due to the steep seating on this stand, views in the Main Grandstand outshine most other stands – with the higher the seats, the better view of the pitlane. Don’t be disappointed if you are in the lower seats however, with most rows many metres above the catch fencing which will allow plenty of unobstructed photo opportunities of the cars. Almost all seats at the Main Grandstand are covered, and being the main section of track, all amenities are located directly behind the stand.

Grandstand: 3-6

Outside of Grandstands 14 and 15, these stands known as the “Blue Grandstands” are the place to be for your optimal Mexican GP experience. Here you will have the stadium-type feel of 14 and 15 with the added bonus of seeing plenty of on-track action. Located at the end of one of the longest straights on the calendar, you will have views of cars slipstreaming along the start/finish straight and the most popular overtaking spot on track into turns 1 and 2. Lap 1 particularly is a highlight, seeing all 20 cars jostling for position into these two corners.

Grandstand: 5A

Directly across from grandstands 3-6 is 5a, the difference being Grandstand 5a is the sole stand on the inside of the track. Located at the exit of turn 3, here you will have close-up views of cars battling for positions, often with a pass and re-pass being completed between two cars. A view to your right allows you to see the cars exit turn 3 and into the shorter second straight, while a look to your left gives you some views of Turns 1-2. Food and drinks are found in close proximity to Grandstand 5a.

Grandstand: 6A

Grandstand 6a sits somewhat isolated from the other stands on this circuit, but it views of the action are fantastic here. Sat on the second straight you will have a full view of cars battling for position, being a DRS zone. You won’t likely see many on track overtakes completed from these seats, you will find plenty of amenities close by your seats.

Grandstand: 9-11

Grandstands 9-11 are located in the twisty complex of Turns 4-6. All three are smaller stands, and you will have plenty of photo opportunities of the cars at slow speed through these corners. Coming at the end of the second DRS zone, overtakes are known to happen in this part of the track, while also plenty of incidents are possible as over-ambitious moves often end in tears for one or both drivers. As with all the stands at the Mexican GP, the atmosphere is electric all weekend long – particularly when local hero Sergio Perez passes by. While not as many food and drink options as stands earlier in the lap, there are still plenty of options and entry gates are only a short walk from your seats.

Grandstand: 14&15

Quite possibly the most unique pair of stands on the entire F1 calendar – Grandstands 14 and 15 are located at the former baseball stadium section of track. From an on-track perspective, here you will see cars navigate a slow, three corner section before heading underneath both stands and onto the main straight. Grandstand 15 also will give you a view of Turn 12 just before the cars enter the stadium section. While not an overtaking spot, the highlight of these stands are most definitely the atmosphere. Due to the stadium style seating, you will feel right on top of the cars, with a large section of tables and seating directly in front of the stadium, ensuring you can leave your seats for food or drink and not miss a minute of the on-track action. Another added bonus is the location of the podium, typically on the start/finish straight at each circuit, it is located opposite Stands 14 and 15. Post-race, the driver interviews are staged here prior to the podium as well as the top 3 finisher’s cars, and after the podium the party will continue long into the evening with a DJ playing music into the night.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience with The Grand Prix Tours. The accommodation was amazing, communication with this company was brilliant when I had a few questions and the seating for the actual Grand Prix qualifying and race day was perfect, as we got to see all the overtaking on the corner. I would highly recommend this company and look forward to using them again in the future!!

Myself and my son became Grand Prix Grand Tourists for the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa…. GPGT took care of everything, flight were perfect, airport transfers ran smoothly, hotel in Brussels was stunning and comfortable, seats in the gold 4 grandstand were beyond anything we could have expected,transfers from hotel to race were good fun and interesting especially trying to exit the carpark at the end of both days!! But hey, it was expected…Stefan our guide and the drivers were really friendly and looked after us well.Please thank Jamie at your office, he was brilliant, kept us informed on every item….I would recommend you guys 100% to anyone thinking of using your services

We had a fantastic time at the Hingarian Grand Prix. Everything was organised for us. In particular, the communication from booking to race day was excellent. We look forward to travelling with GPGT again.

Just got back from the Hungarian Grand Prix. I booked this as a surprise for my partner’s birthday and GPGT were great from the start. I wouldn’t have known where to start arranging this myself but everything was organised, communication great and everything happened exactly as they said it would! hotel was nice, all transfer pick ups were on time and seats at the Grand Prix were great! I booked the flights separately myself but was really pleased when GPGT still sorted airport transfers for us. They made it a simple, stress free and very enjoyable weekend!

Freshly back from a superb trip to the Spanish Grand Prix - what a weekend and experience! All arrangements from point of booking, pre-travel, and the weekend itself, were seamless and very well coordinated.Our grand stand seats were spectacular, in front of the starting grid and pits, with brilliant views of all the action.We’re already planning which race to book for next year. Thanks to everyone on the GPGT team for making it a very easy and unforgettable experience 🙂

So pleased to have chosen GPT for F1 Monaco - they were really responsive to all emails and phone calls. The advice for hotel in Nice walking distance to the rail station was really perfect (23 minutes to central Monaco). Hotel was great choice for this weekend as we were only there to sleep and it was comfortable clean with helpful staff. Transfers from airport to hotel and return were very efficient and professional - they anticipated late arrival and departure so were ready and waiting to take us both ways in high quality vehicles. Our seats were in one of the main grandstands (K 4) with great views of the track and harbour with a huge screen opposite to see all the action around the track. It was a big decision choosing the company to supply the Grand Prix experience, I read many reviews and GPT stood out, very happy to have chosen them.

We chose GPGT for our 1st F1 experience and we were not disappointed. Bahrain was an incredible experience everything went like clockwork. Well done to the team at GPGT’s we are very much looking forward to our next event.

Having never done a package for a GP I wasn’t sure what to expect. I need not have worried. From the start the communication was excellent with clear instructions regarding flights, transfers and hotel.The airport transfers were easy and the driver was professional and attentive and the hotel was out of this world. The circuit transfers were easy and informative with a local guide who gave us information on local areas of historic importance and local facts and recommendations for nice places to eat.I would recommend this company to anyone who is looking to attend a GP abroad. You won’t be disappointed.

From the moment we booked our Monaco GP tour until the end of the trip, we had nothing but a brilliant experience with this company. Our initial trip was postponed due to Covid and Simon and Jay were always at the end of the phone to answer any questions and reassure us. As for the trip itself, everything was well thought out - from the flight and transfers to the hotel in Nice (clean, comfortable and an easy walk to the train station so we could easily get to Monaco and back). We upgraded our tickets for the Grand Prix after chatting to Simon about the kind of view we wanted and they were superb - right in the middle of the action. It was a once-in-a-lifetime trip that we will never forget and we can’t wait to book our next F1 tour with the company . Thanks all

Like to say a massive thanks to John and the team for a totally hassle free Monaco F1 weekend.Start to finish they are totally professional, quick to respond to emails, and providing all the relevant information required before flying out!The trip itself went without any issues, accommodation chosen in Nice, with its roof top bar, was a perfect way to relax after full day trying to pack everything in, and only a 10-15 minutes walk to/from the station.Our chosen seats which gave access to the mooring pontoons of the big super Yacht’s, with live music that filled the gaps between races. We also got to see plenty of action, (Ricardo’s & Schumacher’s crashes, plus others over the weekend), you could also at a distance see some of the pit activity and even the podium presentations, (depending on the seats we had each day). It had the big screen central to our stand (P), so you didn’t miss any action.Thanks again for a totally awesome F1 experience.Regards Dave

Delighted with the whole experience. The hotel was superb in every way, the seats at the Barcelona Grand Prix were exceptional. Will definitely book with you again and recommend friends to do the same.We were kept informed through the weekend with various tel numbers should we run into difficulties during our stay which we didn’t.Anyone can book with you very confidently!
