Mexican Grand Prix Celebrates 10th Anniversary with Sold-Out Crowd Despite Sergio Perez's Absence
The Mexican Grand Prix boosts tourism and fills Mexico City hotels, celebrating a decade of economic impact and cultural promotion since its 2015 return, organizers say.
- This year, the Mexican Grand Prix in Mexico City celebrates its 10th anniversary as a major economic driver and international showcase with full hotels and restaurants, promoters Grupo CIE and OCESA said.
- Organizers say the race operates through a trust fund established with private contributors, relying on coordination among FIA officials, local government, and private sponsors since its 2015 return to the F1 calendar.
- Distinctly Mexican touches at the race include trophies from domestic designers and local activities, while approximately 150,000 fans attend Sunday at Autodromo Hermanos Rodríguez amid a title battle involving Max Verstappen and McLaren drivers Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris.
- Promoters say tickets go on sale nearly a year in advance and sales slowed after Perez lost his seat, but with Perez expected back next year they aim to reopen sales.
- The race is secured on Formula 1's calendar through the 2028 season and next year will compete for spending dollars with the FIFA World Cup, which Mexico will co-host.
