The Mexican Grand Prix is to remain on the Formula 1 calendar for at least three more years after a new contract was signed. Announced ahead of the 2022 race weekend, the new deal will last until 2025 and kicks in from next season, with the race due to be held on October 30th. "I am very pleased to announce that Formula 1 will continue to race in Mexico City for another three years under this new agreement," explained F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali. "Every year the race attracts a large number of passionate fans, and the atmosphere is incredible, and I know everyone will be excited by this news. "I want to thank Claudia Sheinbaum, the Head of Government for Mexico City, and Alejandro Soberón and his team for their ongoing commitment to Formula 1 and the continued success of the event." The best result ever scored by a Mexican driver in their home race was by Sergio Perez in 2021 when he took third behind Red Bull teammate Max Verstappen and the Mercedes of Lewis Hamilton.
