Mexico City Grand Prix
Times in Central European Time.
- Friday 30 October
-
Practice 1
An hour handed largely to rookies and reserves on a dusty, slippery track. Plenty of wobbles and a late virtual safety car, but mostly routine running.
3 out of 10, Skip it -
Practice 2
Livelier than a usual Friday: an odd on-track clash brings out a red flag, and a virtual safety car follows. After the restart, a busy burst of qualifying runs.

Practice 3
A slow, low-key start, then a properly tight final 15 minutes on soft tyres with the top times changing hands repeatedly. The last quarter-hour is enough.
3 out of 10, Skip it -
Qualifying
A razor-tight session where the final runs keep reshuffling the order at the top, and the earlier segments are tense too. No interruptions, just pure lap-time drama.

Race
Tense from the opening corners, with a red flag and standing restart resetting things and a late safety car setting up a nervy finish. Worth it start to end.
