The Mexico City Grand Prix, held from October 25 to 27, 2024, promises to be one of the most exciting races of the Formula 1 season. Hosted at the iconic Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, this 4.304 km circuit is renowned for its high-altitude challenges and the famous stadium section that immerses fans in the action.
Some notable changes will be made to the 2024 Mexico City Grand Prix to enhance the race experience for both fans and participants. These updates include modifications to the race schedule and practice sessions, along with unique strategic opportunities for the teams.
In a significant turn of events, Formula 1 has confirmed that Free Practice 2 (FP2) will be extended by 30 minutes, increasing the session to a total of 90 minutes. This adjustment allows teams to participate in a Pirelli tire test for the 2025 season.
During this session, teams will evaluate new tire compounds and gather data that could impact tire performance in future races. The extended FP2 gives drivers and teams additional time to experiment with different setups and strategies, making this session more critical than ever.
One of the most anticipated moments of the Mexico City Grand Prix weekend will be the appearance of IndyCar star and McLaren reserve driver Pato O’Ward during Free Practice 1 (FP1). A Mexican native, O’Ward is a rising talent in motorsport and will have the chance to drive in front of his home crowd. He expressed his excitement by saying:
I cannot wait, this really is a dream come true for me – being able to jump into an F1 car in front of my home crowd. I can’t thank Andrea [Stella], Zak [Brown] – the whole team – enough for this amazing opportunity.
The 2024 Mexico City Grand Prix will follow a packed race weekend schedule, offering fans multiple opportunities to catch their favorite drivers in action. From practice sessions to qualifying and race day, each day is filled with crucial moments that will shape the event’s outcome.
