The Mexico City Grand Prix welcomed 395,902 fans over the weekend, continuing Formula 1\u2019s trend of record-breaking attendances.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Almost 400,000 attended the GP at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez to see Red Bull driver Max Verstappen win his 14th race, which is a record during a single season.<\/p>\n
The Mexico Grand Prix follows on from the record-breaking US GP<\/a>, which welcomed 440,000 F1 fans to the Circuit of the Americas. This was a record for the whole of Formula 1, anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n Since the Mexico Grand Prix was reintroduced to the Formula 1 calendar in 2015, the race weekend has welcomed a steady 330,000 fans each year. The race was first held during the 1960s, before returning between 1986 and 1992 where it failed to garner the same level of interest.<\/p>\n Now in its third stint on the F1 calendar, with the race set to appear until 2025 after a new contract was signed prior to the weekend, local fans are happy to see Mexican driver Sergio Perez with a top team like Red Bull. This has helped to drive numbers for the Mexican GP as well as Formula 1\u2019s growing popularity globally.<\/p>\n Earlier this year, the Australian Grand Prix set a record<\/a> of 419,000 (which was eventually beaten by the US GP) and the British Grand Prix sold out in record time<\/a>\u00a0before welcoming over 400,000.<\/p>\n Fifteen of the 20 races so far have confirmed attendances this season, with almost five million fans watching Formula 1 live at the circuit.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p><\/div>\n
