Timberland’s «El Regreso»: marigold (cempasúchil) on the 6-inch boot, the Stone Street Platform and a hoodie, lined with at least 50% recycled plastic.

Lando Norris returns to the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez as the defending winner of the Mexico City Grand Prix and as the 2025 world champion.

His path to the top took time. He won his first Grand Prix in Miami on May 5, 2024, in his 110th race. That same year in Mexico he finished second, 4.705 seconds behind Carlos Sainz.

In 2025, with McLaren, he started from pole in Mexico City and won the race; teammate Oscar Piastri finished fifth. “Lifting the trophy here, in the stadium, was very special,” he said afterward (Gente México translation). Team principal Andrea Stella spoke of “a dominant performance and a deserved victory” (Gente México translation).

On December 7, 2025, in Abu Dhabi, he closed the championship with 423 points — two more than Max Verstappen. He was McLaren’s first champion since Lewis Hamilton in 2008 and the eighth driver to take the title with the team. His season added seven wins and seven poles, according to McLaren. “This is not my world championship, it’s ours,” he said (Gente México translation).

The Mexico City Grand Prix is run at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, inside the Ciudad Deportiva Magdalena Mixhuca, on the city’s east side.

The track was born in a classroom. Civil engineer Óscar Fernández Gómez Daza designed it as his thesis at UNAM and defended it in 1955; one of his examiners proposed building it, and the work finished in 1959, as El País tells it. It was first called the Autódromo de la Magdalena Mixhuca; later it took the name of brothers Ricardo and Pedro Rodríguez, Mexico’s first great racing drivers, according to Formula 1. It is owned by the Mexico City government.

It sits at 2,240 meters above sea level and its layout measures 4.304 kilometers. In 2015, Felipe Massa reached 364 km/h here, according to the Autódromo itself.

For 2026, works were announced with an investment of more than MXN $200 million: a new 6.5-centimeter asphalt layer, drainage and kerb maintenance, and work on the Pit Building and Paddock.

The zones have names of their own: the Moisés Solana Complex (turns 1 to 3), the Jim Clark Straight, the Ese del Lago, the Héctor Rebaque chicane, the Esses (turns 7 to 11) and Estadio GNP, which begins at turn 12, Adrián Fernández. The Rebaque chicane is among the slowest sections, and from there the cars can be seen in the most detail.

To get there, Ticket2Ride is a round-trip shuttle bought on Ticketmaster up to two days ahead, with departures from Auditorio Nacional, Coapa, Condesa, Estadio Banorte, Hipódromo, Interlomas, Lindavista, Mundo E, Perisur and Plaza Carso, among other points.

Since 2015, the Mexico City Grand Prix podium has handed out trophies made by TANE, a Mexican silver house with more than eight decades of craft.

TANE was born in 1942. Sergio and Natalia Leites, arrived from France, founded it as a leather-goods shop; the name comes from tannerie, French for tannery. For the details on their bags they worked with local goldsmiths, and that is how their relationship with silver began. In 1953 the house moved to Amberes Street in Colonia Juárez and turned toward jewelry and silver objects. Today, according to the house itself, every piece is handmade in its workshops in Mexico.

According to México GP, four trophies are made each year in .925 silver with 23-karat yellow-gold vermeil, on a natural-stone base and with tricolor enamel on the reverse. The first-place trophy measures about 15 × 10 × 60 centimeters; second and third, about 12 × 10 × 46 centimeters.

It has been lifted by Nico Rosberg (2015), Lewis Hamilton (2016 and 2019), Max Verstappen (2017, 2018 and 2021–2023), Carlos Sainz (2024) and Lando Norris (2025).

For the anniversary, TANE made an official collector’s replica: 24 numbered, handmade pieces that recreate the original 2015 design on an obsidian base.

This year the Mexico City Grand Prix runs October 30 to November 1, right in Day of the Dead season. Two traditions share the calendar.

The festival of the dead has worldwide recognition: UNESCO inscribed “Indigenous festivities dedicated to the dead” on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2008. The celebration coincides with the close of the maize agricultural cycle and welcomes the departed with offerings, flowers, candles and altars.

The overlap with motorsport goes back a long way. The first Formula 1 Grand Prix at the Magdalena Mixhuca circuit was run in 1962, on Day of the Dead dates, as El País recalls.

Today México GP proposes six ways to live both festivals. At the Autódromo, fans arrive painted as calaveras or catrinas, and there is a Day of the Dead altar in the Blue Zone. Across the city, the monumental offerings at the Zócalo, Tlatelolco, Ciudad Universitaria, Xochimilco and Parque Tezozómoc are free to visit.

The Great Day of the Dead Parade, held since 2016, runs along Reforma and through the Historic Center. In Chapultepec Park, from October 30 to November 1, 2:00–10:00 p.m., the free festival “El Sendero del Cempasúchil” (The Marigold Path) takes place. And about 40 kilometers from downtown, San Andrés Mixquic keeps one of the country’s most traditional celebrations.

The Mexico City Grand Prix lasts three days, but its impact is measured all year. The 2025 edition left a total economic spillover of MXN $19.84 billion in the country, according to the study México GP released on April 28, 2026, prepared by AECOM and Formula Money.

Of that total, MXN $6.715 billion is direct economic impact and MXN $13.125 billion is the value of media exposure. The event generated 10,649 jobs and MXN $1.13 billion in wages.

Spending by attendees outside the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez — on hotels, restaurants and transport — came to MXN $3.41 billion. That weekend, 401,326 people came through the gates over three days; 153,867 of them on race Sunday. Since 2015, the cumulative spillover totals MXN $157.594 billion.

The city kept its own books: Mexico City’s government estimated, on October 28, 2025, a spillover of MXN $20 billion, and the local Tourism Ministry reported that more than 20,000 people visited its pavilions over the weekend.

Demand for 2026 confirms the appetite. México GP announced on November 14, 2025, that tickets were sold out across pre-sale, early sale and general sale; ESPN reported they went in four days. Official prices ran from MXN $3,900 to $61,750, according to ESPN and El Economista. Holders can buy First Option Rights to keep their seat for 2027 and 2028.

The race returns October 30 to November 1.
