2026 F1 Mexican Grand Prix - Mexico City start time
The 2026 F1 Mexico City Grand Prix starts at 14:00 local time on Sunday, November 1st.
The 71-lap race will begin at 20:00 GMT in the UK, with Kimi Antonelli on the verge of becoming the youngest world champion in history - and knowing that if nearest rivals, George Russell or Lewis Hamilton, don't win the race, he will automatically be champion.
If Russell wins, Antonelli must be 9th or better, and if Hamilton does, the Italian requires P10 or better.
The race has been formally called the 'Mexico City Grand Prix' since 2021 to reflect the increased sponsorship and support from the Mexico City government, as opposed to the former 'Mexican Grand Prix moniker.'
