he Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez is located just to the east of Mexico City, one of the world’s most populous and vibrant cities, so many fans will no doubt jump at the chance to combine a trip to the race with the chance to explore the many delights of this particularly historic part of Latin America.

“There’s so much culture and a lot of spicy food,” says Force India’s Sergio Perez of his nation’s capital, which is situated at a lofty 2,200m above sea level and features an abundance of must-see tourist attractions, including ancient Aztec ruins, 17th century palaces and top-class museums.

Just as importantly, the city is home to many F1 fans, something Perez says will contribute to an incredible atmosphere at the circuit. “I think the Formula One paddock will be surprised by the enthusiasm of the Mexican fans,” he said. “They’ve had to wait so long (for the race to return to the calendar) that they will show a firework of enthusiasm!”

The Mexican Grand Prix (Gran Premio de México) was a Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile sanctioned auto race held at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City. It first appeared as a non-championship event in 1962 before being held as a championship event from 1963-1970 and 1986-1992. The Grand Prix is scheduled to return in 2015 at the Mexico City circuit.
