Grand Prix Mexico
The Mexican Grand Prix is held at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City, at an altitude of over 2,200 metres above sea level, the highest circuit in Formula 1.
Due to the high altitude, the air is about 25% thinner than at sea level, which poses major challenges. The engines have less oxygen, which means they produce about 20% less power. The aerodynamics are also less effective and cooling is a major problem for both the engine and the brakes.
The Mexican Grand Prix is praised for its colorful culture, vibrant atmosphere and unique combination of racing and festivities, including Día de los Muertos themes often incorporated into race weekend activities. The Mexican Grand Prix will run from October 24 to October 26, 2025.

History of the Mexican Grand Prix
The Belgian Grand Prix has a rich history dating back to 1925, when it was first raced on a dangerous 14.9km street circuit. Since 1950, the race has been part of the Formula 1 championship almost continuously. After a series of fatal accidents, the race temporarily moved to Nivelles and Zolder in the 1970s, where Gilles Villeneuve died in 1982. In 1983, F1 returned to the renovated, safer but still challenging Spa-Francorchamps circuit. Memorable moments include Schumacher’s first Formula 1 win (1992), the massive start crash (1998) and the shortest Grand Prix ever (2021) when heavy rain allowed only a few laps behind the safety car.

Autodromo Hermanos Rodríguez
At 7.004 kilometres long, it is the longest track on the current F1 calendar. The circuit is famous for its large elevation changes, fast corners and technical sections.
The most famous section is undoubtedly Eau Rouge/Raidillon, an iconic uphill S-bend combination that riders take at full speed, covering an elevation gain of around 40 metres.
The current circuit is a shortened version of the original 14 km circuit which ran partly on public roads. Despite modernisations, Spa has retained its "old school" character with many run-off areas made of gravel instead of asphalt, which really punishes mistakes.
About Spa
The Belgian Grand Prix takes place in the beautiful Ardennes, a wooded and hilly area in Wallonia. The circuit is located between the villages of Stavelot, Malmedy and Francorchamps, in a landscape characterized by vast green forests, rolling hills and winding rivers.
The region has a peaceful, rural character with charming villages and historic towns in the area. Spa, the famous spa town from which the circuit takes its name, is approximately 15 kilometres away and is famous for its mineral springs and wellness facilities.
The area is popular with nature lovers and outdoor sports enthusiasts. There are numerous hiking and cycling routes through the Ardennes, and the Amblève river offers opportunities for kayaking and other water sports.
The Belgian Ardennes are also known for their local specialties, including Ardennes ham, wild boar, beer and chocolate. Many restaurants in the region serve traditional Walloon and Belgian dishes.
