Tips to enjoy Formula 1 in Mexico City Like a pro

The excitement of Formula 1 in Mexico City attracts thousands of fans every year, all eager to experience the roar of engines at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez. This event is more than just a race; it’s a full-on experience packed with adrenaline, incredible food, and a one-of-a-kind atmosphere.

To make the most of your visit, here’s a guide covering everything you need to know—from how to get to the F1 to tips for finding the best accommodations near the track.

Arrive early and enjoy every moment

The pre-race buzz is part of the fun. Plan to get there around 11:00 a.m., especially on Sunday, the main race day. This way, you’ll avoid long lines, have time to explore the venue, find your seat, and soak in the atmosphere stress-free.

How to get to the F1 in Mexico City?

Driving isn’t recommended due to heavy traffic and very limited parking. The best transportation options are:

• Metro: Line 9, Velódromo, Ciudad Deportiva, and Puebla stations.

• Metrobús: Line 2, Iztacalco and UPIICSA stops.

• Trolleybus: Line 2, Ciudad Deportiva, Puerta 8, Puebla, and Av. Río Churubusco stations.

• Rideshare services like Uber or Didi are helpful, but plan ahead for possible delays due to high demand.

Plan your day and meeting points

During race days, cell networks can get overloaded, so it’s smart to set up meeting spots with your group. Download the Mexico GP app for interactive maps, schedules, and event updates.

What to bring to the Autódromo?

For a smooth experience, pack small backpacks, flags without poles, binoculars, and umbrellas with blunt tips. Prohibited items include pets, flares, bicycles, selfie sticks, and musical instruments. Check the official website for the full list.

Food and sustainability efforts

The 2024 Mexico GP is focused on reducing environmental impact. Expect reusable aluminum cups, free hydration stations, and a cashless payment system for all food and drinks. Over 50 dining options will be available, featuring popular brands like Fishers, Porfirio’s, and Shake Shack.
