Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez

It was designed by engineer Oscar Fernández Gómez Daza in 1955 as a thesis project, as there was no racetrack in Mexico City. It was built in 1959 and is owned by the government of Mexico City. It is the fastest circuit in Formula 1, with Felipe Massa reaching 364 km/h during the 2015 Mexican Grand Prix.

It was named in 1973 as a tribute to the brothers Ricardo and Pedro Rodríguez, considered the best Mexican F1 drivers of the 1960s.

The track is characterised by a very uneven surface, mainly due to the fact that Mexico City is located in a geologically active region. The track is also located at an altitude of 2,285 metres, which means that the engines lose a lot of power and it can be difficult for the drivers to breathe.

In order to host a Formula One Grand Prix again, the circuit had to be almost completely rebuilt, with the construction of a new pit building, a VIP area, a hospital, new grandstands and a complete resurfacing of the track, all of which had to be approved by the FIA (International Automobile Federation) in terms of safety and logistics.

As a result, the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez is once again considered a first-class circuit capable of hosting high-profile international races, including the FIA World Endurance Championship and the FIA Formula E, in addition to the Formula 1 GP.
