• The Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez is the third-shortest circuit on the 2023 F1 calendar, behind only Zandvoort and Monaco.

• It does however have the longest run from pole position to the first braking zone at 811 metres.

• Mexico City sits at over 2,200 metres altitude which affects the car in a number of different ways.

• Because of that high altitude and therefore low air density, the air is incredibly thin.

• The ambient pressure is by far the lowest of the season at 782mb.

• The oxygen levels are therefore 78% of what they are at sea level. This has a big impact on the aerodynamics and the Power Unit.

• The Power Unit sees a decent drop in output due to the thin air. The turbocharger makes up for some of the power loss, but not all of it, and has to work much harder than it does in normal conditions.

• Due to the altitude, we run a high downforce package in Mexico City but experience Monza levels of downforce.

• Top speeds are therefore some of the highest of the season and typically exceed 350 km/h.

• The Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez still largely follows the original outline of the circuit which was first developed in 1959.

• The main difference is the former, more fearsome version of the Peraltada corner is now bisected.

• The first championship Grand Prix race took place at the circuit in 1963, before disappearing from the calendar after 1970.

• The second F1 stint at the circuit came between 1989 and 1992, before the championship returned in 2015 with Nico Rosberg victorious for our team.
