McLaren F1 Everything you need to know for the Mexican Grand Prix

You’ll want to pack a bottle of water with you this weekend as we’re set to spice things up with a trip to Mexico, one of the hottest stops on the calendar.

The Mexican Grand Prix is a fiesta of fun both on and off the track, with massive crowds producing a vibrant atmosphere, and a track that’s well above sea level providing a different type of challenge for those in the garage and out on the tarmac.


ANDREAS SEIDL

“Mexico is always an exciting event with a vibrant atmosphere created by the fans! The track in Mexico City can be challenging with high altitudes and thinner air, meaning the teams will run higher levels of downforce on their cars.

Another challenge we have is managing this second race of a double-header but Lando, Daniel and the entire team are focused on pushing for points. We’re looking forward to another exciting race weekend.”
What the stats say

WHAT THE STATS SAY

We’re amongst the most successful teams at the Mexican Grand Prix, tied on three wins with Williams, Mercedes and Red Bull. Lotus are the only team with more, although one of their four victories came during a non-championship round in 1962.

Our first win in Mexico came courtesy of Denny Hulme in 1969, with the New Zealander winning from fourth. The race didn’t appear on the F1 calendar between 1971 and 1985 and our next victory came in 1988 when Alain Prost beat polesitter Ayrton Senna across the line. The Brazilian won the following year before another lengthy spell without a Mexican Grand Prix between 1993 and 2014.

Daniel has competed in every race since its return in 2015, taking a podium under unusual circumstances in 2016. The Australian crossed the line fifth before being promoted two places due to post-race penalties for Max Verstappen and Sebastian Vettel. The Honey Badger has also been a polesitter in Mexico, topping the qualifying timesheets in 2018.
