Mexico City is one of the world’s most buzzing, vibrant metropolises. I can stress enough how amazing this city is. To enjoy a race at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez is a fantastic chance to mix sport and culture properly. The best spot is at the Foro Sol. Not only will you get to peer down into the cockpits of the drivers as they pass through the stadium, but the atmosphere when the podium ceremony unfolds there has to be experienced to be believed.

High up! The Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez sits over 2km above sea level, making the 4.3km lap a breathless experience. The track still largely follows the outline of the original 1959 circuit, the main difference being that the spectacular – and spectacularly scary – Peralta corner is now bisected, with the circuit instead winding through the old Foro Sol baseball stadium, providing one F1’s most unique vistas.
