Formula 1 has just officially announced that a multi-year agreement has been reached for the Mexican Grand Prix.
The Mexican Grand Prix will continue to be part of the Formula 1 calendar at least until 2028. A few moments ago, the agreement between Liberty Media and the event organizers was officially announced, securing a multi-year extension that will allow Mexico to host a Formula 1 Grand Prix for the next three seasons. This is the official statement published on the F1 website:
Formula 1 has announced that the Mexico City Grand Prix will remain on the calendar until 2028, under a new three-year extension starting in 2026. Since its return to the sport in 2015, the Grand Prix has established itself as one of the most significant events of the year, thanks to its passionate fans and electrifying atmosphere.
The Mexico City Grand Prix embodies the vibrancy and culture of the Mexican capital, where high-speed racing meets Día de los Muertos celebrations and incredible live music from world-renowned artists. The award-winning event has become a favorite among fans, teams, and drivers, with every edition since its return selling out. In 2024, 405,000 people attended the festivities, setting a new record for the Mexico City Grand Prix.
Stefano Domenicali, President and CEO of Formula 1, stated: “We are thrilled to announce that the Mexico City Grand Prix will continue to be part of our calendar until 2028. Formula 1 is about energy, passion, and emotion, and each year the unique atmosphere created by our fans in Mexico City is one of the most incredible and energetic experiences of our championship.
I would like to extend my sincere thanks to President Claudia Sheinbaum for her strong commitment to Formula 1, to Head of Government Clara Brugada for her continued support, and to Alejandro Soberón Kuri, whose leadership has been instrumental in the success of this event. I also want to thank the stakeholders and local businesses who share our vision and help make this event so special.”
Alejandro Soberón Kuri, Chairman and CEO of CIE, added: “We are excited to announce that the Mexican Grand Prix will continue for another three years. We are deeply grateful for the valuable support from the Mexico City Government, from Head of Government Clara Brugada to our President Claudia Sheinbaum, as well as to Stefano Domenicali of Formula 1, who made it possible to keep bringing Formula 1 to our country.
This not only contributes to the economic development of Mexico City but also promotes our city and country significantly on a global scale. Together, we will continue to work hard to ensure that fans enjoy a truly unique live entertainment experience and continue to showcase to the world the high quality of the events we organize in this city.”
