Mexico City F1 Records & Statistics

Mexico City F1 records and Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez statistics

Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez has one of the most distinctive histories of any Formula 1 circuit. Located at high altitude in Mexico City, the venue has hosted World Championship Grands Prix across three separate eras, produced a dramatic Ferrari title triumph in 1964 and witnessed victories for some of Formula 1’s greatest drivers.

Ferrari’s record in Mexico includes three victories, five pole positions, 15 individual podium finishes, two one-two results and six fastest laps through the completed 2025 Mexico City Grand Prix. The Scuderia’s history at the circuit stretches from John Surtees and Lorenzo Bandini’s decisive 1964 championship finale to Carlos Sainz’s victory in 2024 and Charles Leclerc’s second place in 2025.

Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez has hosted 25 Formula 1 Grands Prix

Formula 1’s World Championship history in Mexico City is divided into three periods.

The circuit first hosted the Mexican Grand Prix from 1963 through 1970. Formula 1 returned from 1986 through 1992 before another long absence, then came back with a substantially revised circuit in 2015.

There was no race in 2020, but the event returned in 2021 under the Mexico City Grand Prix name. The completed 2025 race was the 25th Formula 1 World Championship Grand Prix held at the venue.

Formula 1 first raced in Mexico City in 1962

Formula 1 machinery first competed at the venue in 1962, although that race did not count towards the World Championship.

The first championship Mexican Grand Prix followed in 1963, beginning a history that would ultimately span more than six decades despite two lengthy interruptions.

The 1962 event nevertheless occupies an important place in the circuit’s story because it preceded the venue’s formal entry into the Formula 1 World Championship.

The circuit is named after Ricardo and Pedro Rodríguez

Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez honours Ricardo Rodríguez and Pedro Rodríguez, two of Mexico’s most important international racing drivers.

Ricardo Rodríguez became a Ferrari Formula 1 driver while still a teenager and made his World Championship debut for the Scuderia at Monza in 1961. Pedro Rodríguez later established a substantial Formula 1 career of his own and won two World Championship Grands Prix.

The Mexico City circuit was eventually named in honour of the two brothers, permanently linking their racing legacy with the country’s Formula 1 venue.

Ricardo Rodríguez gives the circuit a direct Ferrari connection

The connection between Ferrari and the family behind the circuit’s name is particularly significant.

Ricardo Rodríguez raced for Ferrari during the 1961 and 1962 Formula 1 seasons and became one of the youngest drivers of his era to compete at the highest level of motorsport.

He lost his life aged only 20 during practice for the non-championship Mexican Grand Prix at the circuit in 1962. His name, together with that of his brother Pedro, subsequently became inseparable from the venue’s identity.

Jim Clark won the first World Championship Mexican Grand Prix in 1963

The first Formula 1 World Championship race at the circuit took place on 27 October 1963.

Jim Clark dominated the weekend for Lotus, taking pole position, victory and fastest lap. He completed the 65-lap race ahead of Jack Brabham and Richie Ginther.

Ferrari was unable to score in the inaugural championship event, but the Scuderia would become central to an extraordinary title decider only one year later.

The 1964 Mexican Grand Prix decided the Formula 1 World Championship

Few races in Mexico City’s history have had greater championship significance than the 1964 finale.

John Surtees entered the race fighting Graham Hill and Jim Clark for the Drivers’ Championship. Clark controlled most of the Grand Prix and appeared to be heading towards the title until mechanical trouble struck his Lotus in the closing laps.

That late change transformed the championship calculation and left Ferrari with an opportunity to secure the crown.

Lorenzo Bandini helped John Surtees become World Champion in Mexico

With Jim Clark falling out of contention, John Surtees still needed second place to score enough points to defeat Graham Hill in the championship.

Ferrari teammate Lorenzo Bandini was running ahead of Surtees late in the race but allowed him through. Surtees therefore finished second behind Dan Gurney, with Bandini third.

Those six points gave Surtees the Drivers’ Championship by a single point over Hill.

John Surtees made motorsport history in Mexico City

Surtees’ second place made him Formula 1 World Champion for Ferrari in one of the sport’s most unusual and dramatic finales.

His achievement was even more remarkable because he had previously been a multiple motorcycle World Champion.

He became the first, and remains the only, competitor to win world championships at the highest level on both two and four wheels.

Ferrari’s 1964 Mexico cars famously raced in blue and white

The Ferraris involved in the 1964 title decider did not appear in the traditional red normally associated with the Scuderia.

Following a dispute involving Ferrari and the Italian motorsport authorities, the cars were entered through the North American Racing Team and appeared in the blue-and-white colours associated with the American entrant.

As a result, one of Ferrari’s most important Drivers’ Championship moments was completed by a Ferrari that looked dramatically different from the team’s usual Formula 1 machinery.

Surtees and Bandini gave Ferrari its first Mexico City podiums

The 1964 result also established Ferrari’s first podium record at the Mexican circuit.

John Surtees finished second and Lorenzo Bandini third, putting two Ferraris on the podium in the same race.

It was the first of several double-podium results Ferrari would record in Mexico over the following decades.

Ferrari scored its first Mexican Grand Prix victory in 1970

Ferrari had to wait until the final race of Formula 1’s original Mexico City era to claim its first victory at the circuit.

Jacky Ickx won the 1970 Mexican Grand Prix for the Scuderia, completing 65 laps ahead of teammate Clay Regazzoni.

The result gave Ferrari both victory and a one-two finish at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez.

Clay Regazzoni put Ferrari on pole in Mexico in 1970

Ferrari had already demonstrated its speed in qualifying when Clay Regazzoni secured pole position with a 1:41.860.

Jacky Ickx then took control in the race and crossed the line 45.46 seconds ahead of Regazzoni.

Denny Hulme finished third for McLaren, meaning Ferrari occupied the first two positions in the final Mexican Grand Prix of the original Formula 1 era.

Jacky Ickx completed a dominant Ferrari weekend in 1970

Ickx added the fastest lap to his victory, recording a 1:43.110 during the Grand Prix.

Ferrari therefore left Mexico with pole position, victory, second place and fastest lap.

It would be another 20 years before the Scuderia won at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez again.

Formula 1 left Mexico after the 1970 race

The 1970 Mexican Grand Prix was followed by a lengthy absence from the World Championship.

Safety concerns and problems controlling the enormous crowds around the circuit contributed to Formula 1 leaving the venue.

Mexico would not host another World Championship Grand Prix until 1986.

Formula 1 returned to a shorter Mexico City circuit in 1986

Substantial work was carried out before Formula 1 returned to Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez.

The circuit used between 1986 and 1992 measured 4.421 km, compared with the 5.000 km configuration used during the original championship era.

The revised track remained extremely fast and continued to include the formidable Peraltada corner at the end of the lap.

Gerhard Berger returned Ferrari to the Mexico podium in 1988

Ferrari’s first podium of the second Mexico City era came in 1988.

Gerhard Berger finished third behind the dominant McLarens, while teammate Michele Alboreto placed fourth.

It was Ferrari’s first podium at the circuit since the Jacky Ickx-Clay Regazzoni one-two 18 years earlier.

Nigel Mansell set a fastest lap for Ferrari in Mexico in 1989

Ferrari’s 1989 Mexican Grand Prix ended in disappointment because both cars retired, but Nigel Mansell still demonstrated the speed of the Ferrari 640.

Mansell recorded the fastest lap of the race at 1:20.420.

That became one of Ferrari’s six fastest laps accumulated across the complete World Championship history of the Mexico City circuit.

Alain Prost produced a remarkable recovery for Ferrari in 1990

The 1990 Mexican Grand Prix became one of Ferrari’s great comeback victories.

Alain Prost started only 13th on the grid after a difficult qualifying session, leaving him with a substantial amount of work to do in the race.

The Ferrari driver steadily moved through the field and eventually reached the front, transforming a poor grid position into victory.

Ferrari completed its second Mexico City one-two in 1990

Prost was joined at the front by teammate Nigel Mansell, who had started fourth.

The two Ferraris ultimately crossed the line first and second, with Prost winning by 25.351 seconds.

Gerhard Berger finished only 0.179 seconds behind Mansell in third for McLaren.

The result became Ferrari’s second one-two at the circuit after Jacky Ickx and Clay Regazzoni in 1970.

Nigel Mansell’s Peraltada pass became one of Mexico’s great F1 moments

Mansell’s second place is remembered principally for his late battle with Gerhard Berger.

The Ferrari driver attacked the McLaren around the outside of the daunting Peraltada, a very high-speed banked right-hander that formed the final major corner of the old circuit.

Mansell completed the move and secured second place behind Prost, creating one of the most famous overtakes in Mexican Grand Prix history.

Mexico City’s final corner was later named after Nigel Mansell

The significance of Mansell’s performances at the circuit extended beyond the 1990 Ferrari one-two.

He also won the final Mexican Grand Prix of the second Formula 1 era for Williams in 1992.

When Formula 1 prepared to return in 2015, the circuit’s final corner was named in Mansell’s honour, recalling both his success in Mexico and the celebrated 1990 Peraltada pass.

Formula 1 left Mexico again after 1992

The 1992 Mexican Grand Prix began another long interruption in the country’s Formula 1 history.

More than two decades passed before Mexico City returned to the World Championship.

By the time Formula 1 came back in 2015, Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez had undergone major modifications and the character of the final sector had changed substantially.

Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez was transformed for Formula 1’s 2015 return

The modern version of the circuit measures 4.304 km and retains much of the broad outline of the historic venue.

One of the greatest changes came in the final sector, where Formula 1 no longer uses the original Peraltada in its complete high-speed form.

Instead, the cars enter a slow and technically distinctive stadium section before returning to the final corner and main straight.

The current Mexico City F1 circuit measures 4.304 km

Formula 1’s modern Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez layout is 4.304 km long and contains 17 corners.

The Mexico City Grand Prix is contested over 71 laps, producing a total race distance of 305.354 km.

It is a permanent clockwise circuit and combines one of Formula 1’s longest full-throttle approaches to Turn 1 with slower technical sections and the unique stadium complex.

Mexico City is Formula 1’s extreme high-altitude challenge

Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez sits more than 2,200 metres above sea level, making altitude one of the circuit’s defining technical characteristics.

The thinner air reduces aerodynamic drag but also decreases the amount of downforce produced by the wings and bodywork. Teams therefore frequently use aerodynamic configurations that would normally appear suited to slower circuits while still recording extremely high straight-line speeds.

The reduced air density also creates demanding cooling conditions for power units and brakes.

The long run to Turn 1 creates one of Mexico’s biggest overtaking opportunities

The main straight is an important part of the competitive character of the circuit.

Drivers accelerate for a prolonged period before braking heavily for the opening sequence, producing frequent slipstream battles and making the start particularly important.

A car beginning from pole position can therefore face an immediate challenge from rivals using the tow on the approach to Turn 1.

The Foro Sol stadium gives the Mexico City Grand Prix a unique final sector

The modern circuit passes directly through the Foro Sol stadium complex, creating one of Formula 1’s most recognisable spectator sections.

The cars slow dramatically as they negotiate the tight sequence inside the stadium before accelerating towards the final corner.

The change produces a very different challenge from the old Peraltada and makes the current final sector both slower and more technical than its historical equivalent.

Ferrari endured a difficult return to Mexico in 2015

The first Mexican Grand Prix following Formula 1’s 23-year absence proved frustrating for Ferrari.

Neither Sebastian Vettel nor Kimi Räikkönen reached the finish, leaving the Scuderia without points from the event.

Ferrari’s fortunes at the modern circuit would improve considerably during the seasons that followed.

Sebastian Vettel gave Ferrari its first modern Mexico pole in 2017

Ferrari returned to the front of the grid in 2017 when Sebastian Vettel secured pole position with a 1:16.488.

It was Ferrari’s first Mexican Grand Prix pole since Clay Regazzoni in 1970 and therefore the Scuderia’s first on the modern 4.304 km circuit.

Vettel also set the fastest lap during the race at 1:18.785.

Kimi Räikkönen put Ferrari back on the Mexico podium in 2017

Max Verstappen won the 2017 race, but Ferrari still returned to the podium through Kimi Räikkönen.

The Finn finished third, while Sebastian Vettel recovered to fourth after losing ground during the opening stages.

Räikkönen’s result was Ferrari’s first Mexico City podium of the modern era.

Ferrari scored a double podium in Mexico in 2018

One year later, both Ferraris reached the podium.

Sebastian Vettel finished second behind Max Verstappen, with Kimi Räikkönen third.

The result was Ferrari’s first double podium at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez since the Alain Prost-Nigel Mansell one-two in 1990.

Charles Leclerc inherited pole for Ferrari in Mexico in 2019

The 2019 qualifying result requires an important distinction between the fastest qualifying lap and the official starting grid.

Max Verstappen recorded a 1:14.758 in Q3, the fastest Formula 1 qualifying lap achieved on the current configuration. However, he received a three-place grid penalty for failing to slow sufficiently for waved yellow flags.

Charles Leclerc was consequently promoted to pole position with Sebastian Vettel alongside him in second, producing an all-Ferrari front row.

Ferrari locked out the Mexico front row in 2019

Leclerc’s 1:15.024 became the pole-position time of record, while Vettel had qualified at 1:15.170.

Lewis Hamilton started third and Verstappen fell to fourth following the penalty.

The distinction means Verstappen owns the fastest qualifying lap of the current layout, while Leclerc is officially credited with the 2019 pole position.

Sebastian Vettel finished second for Ferrari in 2019

Ferrari could not convert its front-row start into victory.

Lewis Hamilton won for Mercedes, with Vettel finishing second and Valtteri Bottas third.

Leclerc finished fourth but recorded the fastest lap, adding another Mexico City fastest lap to Ferrari’s circuit statistics.

No Mexican Grand Prix took place in 2020

The Formula 1 calendar was heavily disrupted in 2020 and the championship did not visit Mexico City that season.

Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez returned in 2021, when the event adopted the Mexico City Grand Prix name.

The circuit configuration itself remained the 4.304 km layout introduced for Formula 1’s 2015 return.

Valtteri Bottas set the current Mexico City race-lap record in 2021

Valtteri Bottas recorded a 1:17.774 on lap 69 of the 2021 Mexico City Grand Prix.

That remains the fastest official race lap achieved on the current 4.304 km Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez configuration through the completed 2025 event.

The record is separate from Verstappen’s quicker 1:14.758 qualifying lap from 2019 because qualifying and race-lap benchmarks represent different statistical categories.

Ferrari finished fifth and sixth in Mexico City in 2021

Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz both scored points when Formula 1 returned to Mexico in 2021.

Leclerc finished fifth and Sainz sixth, giving Ferrari a useful double-points result during its fight for position in the Constructors’ Championship.

Neither Ferrari was able to challenge the leading Red Bull and Mercedes cars for a podium that afternoon.

Ferrari again finished fifth and sixth in Mexico City in 2022

The 2022 event produced another solid but unspectacular result for the Scuderia.

Carlos Sainz finished fifth and Charles Leclerc sixth.

Max Verstappen won the race for Red Bull, extending the remarkable run of success that would eventually make him Mexico City’s most successful Formula 1 driver.

Charles Leclerc took a surprise pole for Ferrari in 2023

Ferrari produced one of the biggest qualifying turnarounds of the 2023 Mexico City weekend.

Charles Leclerc secured pole with a 1:17.166 despite Ferrari not appearing to be the favourite based on practice pace.

Carlos Sainz was only 0.067 seconds slower, placing the second Ferrari alongside Leclerc on the front row.

Ferrari locked out the Mexico City front row again in 2023

The Leclerc-Sainz result gave Ferrari its second all-Scuderia front row at the modern Mexico City circuit in four editions.

The previous example had come in 2019 after Max Verstappen’s grid penalty promoted Leclerc and Vettel to first and second.

In 2023, however, Leclerc and Sainz earned the first two qualifying positions directly through their Q3 lap times.

Charles Leclerc returned Ferrari to the podium in 2023

Ferrari could not convert its front-row lockout into victory as Max Verstappen won the race.

Lewis Hamilton finished second for Mercedes and Charles Leclerc completed the podium in third.

Carlos Sainz finished fourth, giving Ferrari two cars inside the top four despite losing the advantage it had held after qualifying.

Carlos Sainz took pole for Ferrari in Mexico City in 2024

Ferrari returned to pole position again the following season.

Carlos Sainz produced a 1:15.946 in Q3 to qualify ahead of Max Verstappen and Lando Norris.

Charles Leclerc qualified fourth, giving the Scuderia two cars inside the first two rows.

Carlos Sainz won the 2024 Mexico City Grand Prix for Ferrari

Sainz converted pole position into a major Ferrari victory on 27 October 2024.

He completed the 71 laps in 1:40:55.800 and finished 4.705 seconds ahead of Lando Norris.

The victory was Ferrari’s first at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez since Alain Prost in 1990, ending a 34-year wait between Mexico City wins.

Ferrari scored its third Formula 1 victory in Mexico in 2024

Sainz joined Jacky Ickx and Alain Prost on Ferrari’s list of Mexico City Grand Prix winners.

• 1970: Jacky Ickx.
• 1990: Alain Prost.
• 2024: Carlos Sainz.

Those three victories span each of the circuit’s principal Formula 1 eras and three very different generations of Ferrari machinery.

Charles Leclerc completed a Ferrari double podium in 2024

Ferrari’s 2024 success extended beyond Sainz’s victory.

Charles Leclerc finished third behind Lando Norris, giving the Scuderia two cars on the podium for the second consecutive year in Mexico.

The result was Ferrari’s strongest overall Mexico City race since its Prost-Mansell one-two in 1990.

Charles Leclerc set the fastest lap in Mexico City in 2024

Leclerc made a late stop and recorded a 1:18.336 on lap 71.

That was the fastest lap of the Grand Prix and added another point to Ferrari’s highly successful afternoon.

It also became Leclerc’s second Mexico City fastest lap after his 2019 benchmark.

Ferrari qualified second and third in Mexico City in 2025

Ferrari again showed strong qualifying pace at the most recent completed Mexico City Grand Prix.

Lando Norris took pole for McLaren with a 1:15.586, but Charles Leclerc placed his Ferrari second at 1:15.848.

Lewis Hamilton qualified third with a 1:15.938, only 0.090 seconds behind his teammate and giving Ferrari two cars directly behind the polesitter.

Charles Leclerc finished second for Ferrari in Mexico City in 2025

Norris converted pole into victory in the 2025 Grand Prix, but Leclerc delivered another podium for Ferrari.

The Ferrari driver finished second, 30.324 seconds behind Norris and only 0.725 seconds ahead of Max Verstappen.

It was Leclerc’s third consecutive Mexico City podium after third-place finishes in 2023 and 2024.

Lewis Hamilton finished eighth for Ferrari in Mexico City in 2025

Hamilton’s first Mexico City Grand Prix as a Ferrari driver began from third on the grid but did not produce the podium his qualifying position had suggested was possible.

A time penalty during the race compromised his result and he eventually finished eighth.

Ferrari therefore left the most recent completed Mexico City race with Leclerc on the podium and Hamilton inside the points.

Charles Leclerc has three consecutive Mexico City podiums

Leclerc has developed a particularly strong recent statistical record at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez.

He finished third in 2023, third again during Ferrari’s victorious 2024 weekend and second in 2025.

Leclerc has also taken two Mexico poles and two fastest laps as a Ferrari driver, making him one of the Scuderia’s most successful individual competitors at the circuit despite not yet winning the race.

Max Verstappen holds the Mexico City Formula 1 wins record

Max Verstappen is the most successful driver in the World Championship history of Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez.

He won in 2017, 2018, 2021, 2022 and 2023, giving him five victories at the venue.

That total places Verstappen ahead of Jim Clark, Alain Prost, Nigel Mansell and Lewis Hamilton, who each have two Mexico City victories.

Jim Clark holds the Mexico City pole-position record

Jim Clark remains the circuit’s most successful Formula 1 qualifier in terms of official pole positions.

He started from pole four times during the original Mexico City era.

Ayrton Senna follows with three, while Charles Leclerc and Nigel Mansell have two each.

Ferrari has five Formula 1 pole positions in Mexico City

Ferrari has secured five official pole positions at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez through the completed 2025 Grand Prix.

• 1970: Clay Regazzoni.
• 2017: Sebastian Vettel.
• 2019: Charles Leclerc.
• 2023: Charles Leclerc.
• 2024: Carlos Sainz.

Leclerc is the only Ferrari driver to have been credited with Mexico City pole more than once.

Ferrari holds the Mexico City constructor podium record

Ferrari has accumulated 15 individual podium finishes at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez through 2025, more than any other Formula 1 constructor.

The Scuderia’s podium history began with John Surtees and Lorenzo Bandini in 1964 and most recently expanded through Charles Leclerc’s second place in 2025.

Ferrari’s total spans the original 5.000 km track, the 4.421 km configuration of the 1980s and early 1990s and the current 4.304 km circuit.

Ferrari has recorded two Mexico City one-two finishes

The Scuderia has filled the first two positions twice at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez.

• 1970: Jacky Ickx P1, Clay Regazzoni P2.
• 1990: Alain Prost P1, Nigel Mansell P2.

The two results came 20 years apart and on different versions of the circuit.

Ferrari has set six fastest laps in Mexico City

Ferrari is also one of the most successful constructors in the circuit’s fastest-lap statistics, with six through 2025.

• 1970: Jacky Ickx – 1:43.110.
• 1989: Nigel Mansell – 1:20.420.
• 1990: Alain Prost – 1:17.958.
• 2017: Sebastian Vettel – 1:18.785.
• 2019: Charles Leclerc – 1:19.232.
• 2024: Charles Leclerc – 1:18.336.

Ferrari and Mercedes share the constructor record of six fastest laps at the circuit through the completed 2025 Grand Prix.

Mexico City has three separate Formula 1 lap-record eras

The substantial changes made to Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez mean that lap times from different periods should not be treated as directly comparable.

• 1963–1970 layout, 5.000 km: Clay Regazzoni’s 1:41.860 for Ferrari in 1970 is the fastest qualifying lap from this configuration, while Jacky Ickx’s 1:43.050 from 1969 is its fastest Grand Prix lap.
• 1986–1992 layout, 4.421 km: Nigel Mansell’s 1:16.346 from 1992 is the qualifying benchmark, while Mansell’s 1:16.788 from the 1991 race is the fastest Grand Prix lap.
• 2015–present layout, 4.304 km: Max Verstappen’s 1:14.758 from 2019 is the fastest qualifying lap, while Valtteri Bottas’s 1:17.774 from 2021 is the official race-lap record.

Separating the three configurations prevents fundamentally different versions of the circuit from being compared as though they represented the same lap.

Max Verstappen’s 1:14.758 is the fastest qualifying lap on the current circuit

Verstappen’s 2019 qualifying lap remains the quickest Formula 1 lap recorded during qualifying on the 4.304 km configuration through 2025.

Its unusual statistical status comes from the grid penalty he received after the session.

He therefore owns the fastest qualifying time but not the official 2019 pole position, which belongs to Charles Leclerc.

Valtteri Bottas holds the official modern Mexico City race-lap record

Bottas’s 1:17.774 from the 2021 Grand Prix remains the current race benchmark.

No driver improved on it during the races from 2022 through 2025.

Charles Leclerc came closest among Ferrari’s recent fastest-lap performances with his 1:18.336 in 2024.

The original 5.000 km circuit had different Formula 1 records

The version used from 1963 through 1970 was considerably longer than today’s track.

Ferrari ended that era with the qualifying benchmark when Clay Regazzoni recorded a 1:41.860 in 1970.

The quickest race lap of the configuration was actually Jacky Ickx’s 1:43.050 from 1969, when he was driving for Brabham. His Ferrari fastest lap one year later was only 0.060 seconds slower.

The 4.421 km layout produced extremely fast lap times by 1992

The second Formula 1 version of Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez was used between 1986 and 1992.

Nigel Mansell established its fastest qualifying benchmark at 1:16.346 in 1992 while driving for Williams.

Mansell also owns the configuration’s fastest race lap, a 1:16.788 set during the 1991 Grand Prix.

Ferrari’s Mexico City record spans more than six decades

Few circuits illustrate the breadth of Ferrari’s Formula 1 history as clearly as Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez.

John Surtees became World Champion there in 1964, Jacky Ickx led Ferrari’s first Mexican one-two in 1970 and Alain Prost recovered from 13th on the grid to lead another one-two in 1990.

In the modern era, Sebastian Vettel, Kimi Räikkönen, Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz have all added poles, podiums or fastest laps, while Sainz restored Ferrari to victory in 2024.

Ferrari’s complete F1 record in Mexico City through 2025

Ferrari has recorded three victories, five pole positions, 15 individual podium finishes, two one-two finishes and six fastest laps at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez through the completed 2025 Mexico City Grand Prix.

Jacky Ickx, Alain Prost and Carlos Sainz are Ferrari’s three race winners at the venue. Charles Leclerc has not yet won in Mexico but has become one of Ferrari’s strongest statistical performers there, with two poles, two fastest laps and three consecutive podium finishes from 2023 through 2025.

Ferrari also holds the constructor record for podium finishes at the circuit and shares the constructor fastest-lap record.

Mexico City F1 records are updated through the 2025 Grand Prix

The latest completed Formula 1 race at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez took place on 26 October 2025.

Lando Norris won for McLaren ahead of Charles Leclerc’s Ferrari and Max Verstappen’s Red Bull. Lewis Hamilton finished eighth in the second Ferrari.

Valtteri Bottas’s 1:17.774 remains the official current-layout race-lap record, while Max Verstappen’s 1:14.758 remains the fastest qualifying lap recorded on the modern circuit.

Why Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez is one of Ferrari’s most historic circuits

Ferrari’s Mexico City record is significant for reasons that extend beyond its three victories.

The circuit helped decide John Surtees’ 1964 World Championship, produced Ferrari one-twos 20 years apart, became the setting for Nigel Mansell’s legendary Peraltada pass and eventually delivered another Scuderia victory through Carlos Sainz in 2024.

Charles Leclerc’s podium in 2025 continued that history and raised Ferrari’s circuit-leading podium total to 15, ensuring Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez remains an important venue in the Scuderia’s Formula 1 record book.
