Mexico extends contract by three years to 2025

The Mexico City Grand Prix will remain on the Formula One calendar until 2025 after agreeing a three-year contract extension, Formula One chief Stefano Domenicali confirmed on Thursday.

The end-of-season race has drawn big and passionate crowds and is popular with drivers and teams who enjoy the atmosphere they generate.

“Every year the race attracts a large number of passionate fans and the atmosphere is incredible and I know everyone will be excited by this news,” said Domenicali. 

“I want to thank Claudia Sheinbaum, the Head of Government for Mexico City, and Alejandro Soberón and his team for their ongoing commitment to F1 and the continued success of the event.”

The event was previously called the Mexican Grand Prix, but this changed in 2020 when the federal government withdrew its support.

Next year’s calendar is scheduled to be a record 24-race marathon starting in Bahrain on March 5 and concluding on November 26 in Abu Dhabi, including ‘returning’ races in China and Qatar and a new event in Las Vegas.
