Here’s a look at the 2022 Mexican GP preview, schedule, live stream details and our predictions for the race at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez
F1 action moves on from the United States to Mexico this weekend for the Mexican Grand Prix at the Mexico City circuit. The 23rd edition of this Grand Prix is scheduled to take place from October 29-31 at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. The drivers’ and Constructors’ titles have already been decided but there’s still a lot at stake as we head out to Mexico!
The home of the Mexican GP is Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, which was opened 62 years ago in 1959. It is an FIA Grade 1 circuit with a maximum crowd capacity of 1,10,000. The circuit got its name shortly after it opened when Ricardo Rodríguez died in practice for the non-Championship 1962 Mexican Grand Prix. Ricardo’s brother Pedro was also killed behind the wheel nine years later. The circuit has featured on the F1 calendar regularly since 2015.
Jim Clark and Max Verstappen are the joint-most successful drivers in the history of the Mexican Grand Prix, having won six titles each. Lotus are the most successful constructors, having registered four wins in this GP. Valtteri Bottas’ lap timing of 1:17.774, while driving a Mercedes W12 in the 2021 Mexican Grand Prix is the official race lap record at this GP.

Max Verstappen might have already sealed the drivers’ championship but there is no stopping him and his Red Bull team at the moment. His teammate Sergio Perez will also look for a memorable race on home turf. Leclerc, Hamilton, Sainz and Russell would look to challenge the Red Bull duo and make it a competitive race. P1 for Verstappen, P2 for Perez and P3 for Hamilton are our predictions for the weekend.
