Mexico City to remain on F1 calendar through 2025

Formula 1 has signed a new three-year deal with CIE, the promoters of the Mexican Grand Prix, that guarantees the event's presence on the sport's calendar through 2025.

Formula 1 returned to Mexico City's historic venue, the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, in 2015 after a 22-year absence.

The event, despite being canceled in 2020 due to the global Covid pandemic, has become one of the most popular races on Grand Prix racing's schedule thanks to its ebullient atmosphere.

"I am very pleased to announce that Formula 1 will continue to race in Mexico City for another three years under this new agreement," said F1 CEO and president Stefano Domenicali.

"Every year the race attracts a large number of passionate fans, and the atmosphere is incredible, and I know everyone will be excited by this news.

"I want to thank Claudia Sheinbaum, the Head of Government for Mexico City, and Alejandro Soberon and his team for their ongoing commitment to Formula 1 and the continued success of the event."

Corporacion Interamericana de Entretenimiento (CIE) President and CEO Alejandro Soberon added:
"The ability to host the race in the nation’s capital until 2025 is the result of a coordinated effort to preserve an event that brings benefits to the city and excitement to thousands of fans.

"We will keep working to ensure the race continues to be a strong contributor to our city's economy."

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
