How can I watch the 2021 Mexican GP? F1 timings and TV schedules

After being absent from the 2020 season calendar due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Formula 1 returns to racing in Mexico this weekend.

One of the best races on the calendar because of its amazing atmosphere, Mexico City will host another segment of this year’s enthralling title battle between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton. 

Verstappen won last time out at the Circuit of the Americas, extending his lead to 12 points over Hamilton.

Mexico has traditionally been a strong race for Red Bull relative to Mercedes so it could be a huge step for Verstappen in winning his maiden title.

When is the Mexican Grand Prix? 

The 2021 Mexican States Grand Prix takes place on Sunday, November 7. Cars will take to the track for two practice sessions before final practice and qualifying on Saturday. The grand prix itself takes place on Sunday afternoon.

The 2021 Mexican Grand Prix is held at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez in Mexico City.

The circuit is 4.304 km (2.674 mi) long and consists of 17 turns.
