100 days to go until the Mexico GP, these are some fun facts about the F1ESTA

• As the countdown for the Mexican Grand Prix reaches one hundred days, it is time to note some highlights that make this a unique race in the world.

Mexico City, 17 July 2024 - There are only 100 days left to live the thrill of the FORMULA 1 Mexico City Grand Prix 2024 presented by Heineken! This Friday, 19 July, the countdown shows three digits for the last time and the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez is getting ready as it does yearly to welcome thousands of fans.

So, with just a hundred days to go until the 20 cars line up on the grid at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, here are some of the unique things you can only enjoy at the Mexico GP:

The Circuit: Home to a Formula 1 race for the first time in 1962, the Autódromo Pedro y Ricardo Rodríguez de la Vega (known simply as 'Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez'), has welcomed 24 races in the motor sport's top category and is a reference around the world.

With one of the longest racing straights on the calendar (1.3 kilometres), the track presents many challenges for drivers and engineers, with low, medium and high-speed curves, and the altitude of Mexico City means that getting the best set-up in the aerodynamics package is a challenge.

• History: With more than 60 years of Formula 1 history, the Mexican Grand Prix is full of anecdotes and legendary names. It was here where Trevor Taylor and Jim Clark took the joint victory in 1962; and where Clark himself won on three occasions.

There have also been fierce battles between Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna, Gerhard Berger and Riccardo Patrese, as well as Nigel Mansell's legendary overtake on the outer side of the banked curve.

• New feats: The current era of the race has also seen moments that are already an important part of the history of the Mexico GP. To date, Max Verstappen is the biggest winner, having won five times on Mexican soil (three of them in a row). While Sergio Pérez is the first Mexican to finish on the podium at his home GP (2021 and 2022).

As the countdown begins, the F1ESTA 2024 of the championship will echo around the world. Also, as part of the final part of the calendar, the Formula 1 Mexico City Grand Prix 2024 presented by Heineken is a key and decisive piece in the drivers' and constructors' championships.
