The Breakdown

Mexico City, taken apart.

The highest circuit on the calendar. The thin air at 2,238 metres steals downforce and strains cooling, so the cars run big wings and still slide — and the lap finishes through the Foro Sol stadium, where the crowd sits right on top of the track.

The corners that matter

  • Turns 1–3 — The braking zone at the end of the long main straight — the lap's great passing place, three corners deep.
  • The Esses — The fast middle-sector sweeps, where the thin air makes the car feel light and nervous.
  • Foro Sol — The stadium section that closes the lap — slow, tight, and the loudest hundred metres in the sport.
