How to follow Mexico City Grand Prix on the BBC

Round 19 of the 2026 Formula 1 season heads to the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez for the Mexico City Grand Prix, from 30 October to 1 November.

Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli sealed victory from pole position last time out in the United States, and was joined on the podium by Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and Red Bull's Max Verstappen.

The 20-year-old Italian is now 123 points clear of team-mate George Russell in the drivers' standings, and will make history in Mexico as the youngest F1 world champion if he finishes ninth or better.

If Russell or Lewis Hamilton do not win the race, Antonelli will lift the title wherever he finishes.

Lights out for Sunday's 71-lap race is at 20:00 GMT.

Commentary of the weekend will be available across BBC Radio 5 Live, 5 Sports Extra, BBC Sounds and the BBC Sport website and app.

You can also ask your smart speaker to "play 5 Live", for example.

Make sure to listen to every episode of the Chequered Flag podcast. For the first time this year, the post-race show for every grand prix is available to watch on BBC iPlayer and YouTube., external
