Formula One 2026: What time is Sunday’s Mexican Grand Prix?

The 2026 Formula One season will feature 23 races, the 19th of which will take place in Mexico this weekend.

The season was originally scheduled to have 24 races, but the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix was postponed following the outbreak of the United States-Iran war.

The next battle for the title is scheduled for the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City on Sunday, 1 November.

The lights will go out at 22:00 (SA time).

Title decided?

McLaren’s Kimi Antonelli will clinch his maiden title this weekend should he finish anywhere in the top nine positions, regardless of other results.

Lando Norris is the defending Formula One drivers’ champion while McLaren are the reigning constructors’ title winners.

As a reminder, last year’s Mexican Grand Prix was won by Norris, with Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc in second and Red Bull’s Max Verstappen in third.
