Mexican Grand Prix 2022: Schedule, TV and how to live stream

View of Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez during the Mexican Grand Prix. Mexico City November 2021.
If it’s the Hallowe’en weekend it must be the Mexican Grand Prix, which this year forms round 20 of 22 in the Formula 1 World Championship.
It will not quite be Mexico’s Day of the Dead, with track action taking place from October 28-30, but you can be sure the festivities will be evident at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.
And what would the local crowd like to celebrate most of all? A win for their hero, Sergio Perez, of course. He finished third last year behind his Red Bull team-mate Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton and if ‘Checo’ was to go two better this time, the fans’ reaction would be simply off the scale.
Red Bull have both the Drivers’ title – through Verstappen, of course – and the Constructors’ crown wrapped up, so could this be a race when they put all their focus on helping Perez to make one of his biggest dreams come true? It would also stand him in good stead to finish P2 in the 2022 Drivers’ list.

Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, built in 1959, is located in the south east of Mexico City, within the public park of the Magdalena Mixhuca Sports City.
The venue first hosted a Formula 1 World Championship race in 1963 and 20 more have taken place there since, the event returning to the calendar in 2015 after being absent for 22 years.

The circuit is 4.304km long and consists of 17 corners in total, with the final one – the peraltada – being particularly famous.
The main straight, meanwhile, is among the longest on the calendar, with cars hitting speeds of around 230mph on it.

Which drivers have won the Mexican Grand Prix?

There have been 21 Mexican Grands Prix since the first one took place in 1963 and 15 drivers have tasted victory there, four doing so twice – and one became a three-time winner last year.
It has proved to be a strong circuit for British drivers with Jim Clark, Nigel Mansell and Hamilton all managing to win there twice. Clark actually has three to his name but the first of them, in 1962, was not an official championship race.
Therefore, with his 2021 success, Verstappen became the first driver to get three victories on the board, all within the last four editions.
Alain Prost is the only other driver to have won there more than once.
Winners of the Mexican Grand Prix since its return are as follows:
2021: Max Verstappen (Netherlands, Red Bull)
2019: Lewis Hamilton (Great Britain, Mercedes)
2018: Max Verstappen (Netherlands, Red Bull)
2017: Max Verstappen (Netherlands, Red Bull)
2016: Lewis Hamilton (Great Britain, Mercedes)
2015: Nico Rosberg (Germany, Mercedes)
What are the latest F1 Championship standings?

Tyre choices for the 2022 Mexican Grand Prix
It’s race week, as @F1 heads to the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez for the #MexicoGP, where the high altitude of the venue adds to the technical challenge of the layout 🇲🇽

Due to the conditions that will greet the teams and drivers in Mexico City, Pirelli have opted to take the middle three compounds in their range.
Therefore, the C2 will be the hard, the C3 the medium and the C4 the soft.
Pirelli motorsport director Mario Isola said: “Mexico focuses on traction and braking. The circuit does not offer a lot of grip and the energy demands on the tyres are reasonably low, as the cars do not generate much downforce in the thin air at high altitude, especially in slow corners.
“This year, the circuit might be more front-limited as the current generation of car tends to understeer through slow corners – which Mexico has plenty of – and this can lead to some sliding on the front tyres.
“Due to the nature of the venue, the circuit tends to feature a dusty surface with plenty of track evolution. Understanding this and getting the tyre warm-up exactly right is likely to be the key to success.”
