The '''Mexican Grand Prix''' ({{lang-es|Gran Premio de México}}), currently held under the name '''Mexico City Grand Prix''' ({{lang-es|Gran Premio de la Ciudad de México}}), is a motor racing event held at the [[Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez]] in [[Mexico City]]. It first appeared as a non-championship event in 1962 before being held as a championship event in 1963–1970 and 1986–1992. The Grand Prix returned in
==History==
Line 41 ⟶ 42:
===Magdalena Mixhuca (1962–1970)===
The Mexican Grand Prix was first held on 4 November 1962 at the [[Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez|Magdalena Mixhuca]] circuit. The circuit was the first international racetrack in Mexico, and like [[Autodromo Nazionale Monza|Monza]] in [[Milan]], Italy, it was built within a park in the center part of a major city, in this case the Mexican capital of [[Mexico City]]. The race provided unique challenges for racing, standing at 2,240m (7,340 ft) above sea level, as well as the long, 180-degree, lightly banked and fast Peraltada corner that finishes the lap, in addition to being a bumpy racetrack from actively shifting soils beneath the circuit. The Mexican Grand Prix of this period was always the season finale Grand Prix, held in late October.
The [[1962 Mexican Grand Prix|first race]], a non-championship affair which attracted a strong international entry, was won by [[Team Lotus]] with [[Jim Clark]] taking over the car of teammate [[Trevor Taylor (racing driver)|Trevor Taylor]] to claim the win; Clark was black-flagged after receiving a push-start at a confused race start. The meeting was marred by the death of young Mexican star [[Ricardo Rodríguez (racing driver)|Ricardo Rodríguez]], killed in practice in a Rob Walker run [[Lotus 24]] on the Peraltada.
The Formula One World Championship arrived the following year with Clark winning again, equalling [[Juan Manuel Fangio]]'s record of most victories in a single season. 1964 saw the battle for both the Drivers' and Constructors' championships. British drivers Clark, [[John Surtees]] and [[Graham Hill]] all arrived with a chance, with Hill leading the table
American [[Richie Ginther]] took victory for Honda in 1965, the Japanese company's first win in Formula One. Clark won his third Mexican Grand Prix in 1967, making him the most frequent winner of the race as of 2019.{{citation needed|date=October 2019}}
In 1968, three men again came into the race with a chance of winning the Drivers' Championship
Crowd control in 1968 and 1970 contributed to cancellation of the event.<ref>Kettlewell, Mike. "Grand Prix Racing South of the Border", in Ward, Ian, executive editor. ''World of Automobiles'' (London: Orbis, 1974) Volume 12, p.1332.</ref> In 1970, a record crowd of approximately 200,000 arrived to see [[Pedro Rodríguez (racing driver)|Pedro Rodríguez]], forcing officials to delay the race start by an hour as they struggled to control the crowd.<ref name="auto">Kettlewell, p.1332.</ref> At one point, a dog ran across the track and was hit by Stewart. During the race, spectators threw bottles on the track.<ref name="auto"/> Amid the chaos, [[Clay Regazzoni]] trailed [[Jacky Ickx]] for a 1-2 Ferrari finish.<ref name="auto"/>
The 1971 event was scheduled, with a large fund deposited in a Swiss bank to help guarantee better crowd control, but after the death of Pedro Rodriguez, the plan was abandoned.<ref name="auto"/>
===Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez (1986–1992)===
[[File:Gran Premio de México Logo.png|thumb|right|210px|Classic Mexican GP event logo.]] There had been a number of attempts to bring the Mexican Grand Prix back on the F1 calendar, one attempt being when it was originally scheduled in April 1980, two weeks after the US Grand Prix West, but was cancelled. American IndyCars arrived for a brief two-year visit in 1980 and 1981, racing as the [[Gran Premio Tecate]] on the Magdalena Mixhuca track now named after Mexico's two lost racing heroes, Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez. The event was dominated by [[Rick Mears]]. A number of years later, work began on rebuilding the Hermanos Rodríguez circuit with much improved organisation. The circuit's layout was slightly shorter, the Peraltada's banking had been eased and the circuit was generally much safer than it had been. The Grand Prix returned in 1986, where the race played host to Austrian [[Gerhard Berger]]'s first
The 1988 race was moved from mid-October to a warmer and more rain-prone late May season slot, so that it could be paired with the other North American Grands Prix in Montreal and Detroit. This race saw Frenchman Alain Prost dominate in his McLaren, and Prost's Brazilian teammate [[Ayrton Senna]] won the next year; this was at a time when the two men's relationship was at a low point. 1990 saw the race moved to late June. Prost, now at Ferrari, qualified 13th on the grid but drove through the field
For the 1992 season, the race had been moved further forward to March, and on 20 February of that year, Mexico City's air pollution had reached a record level. City officials had imposed emergency measures banning half of government cars and equipment from the streets; this was not helped by the fact that Mexico City is situated in a valley surrounded by mountains, which restricts polluted air to travel elsewhere to dissipate. This put extra stress on the Mexican Grand Prix committee to ensure the track was ready for 1992.<ref>Gray haze makes people sick: Mexico city pollution worses, AP: Published in Ellensburg Daily Record 20 February 1992 page 9.</ref> Some safety measures had been implemented to the track, including further easing of the banking at Peraltada, making the corner a little slower; this was done to avoid bypassing the entry to this corner via making an alternate route to the middle of the Peraltada through the park's baseball stadium. Although the circuit was popular with drivers, they complained during interviews with the press about the ubiquitous and severe bumps on the circuit, which had decayed even further and were worse than before - even the Peraltada was very bumpy and Mansell nearly crashed there during practice. Despite these concerns, the race that year went ahead
===Absence (1993–2014)===
2002 saw the revival of the Grand Prix of Mexico for Champ Cars on a much modified version of the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez circuit, which included cutting the Peraltada in half. This was a six-year stay, which saw [[Sébastien Bourdais]] win half of the six races that followed.
Rumors first surfaced in 2003 that the Mexican Grand Prix might return to the [[Formula One]] calendar at a new [[dollar|$]]70 [[million]] circuit, dubbed "[[Mobula|Mantarraya]]", to be built near [[Cancún]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.itv-f1.com/WhereNext.aspx?type=WHERE_NEXT&PO_ID=18927 |title=Archived copy |access-date=2006-12-22 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070929110042/http://www.itv-f1.com/WhereNext.aspx?type=WHERE_NEXT&PO_ID=18927 |archive-date=29 September 2007 }}</ref> In 2005, the governor of [[Quintana Roo]] state said that Mexico would have a Grand Prix on the calendar for {{F1|2006}}.<ref>[http://xserve2.com/ns/ns13707.html Mexico announces race in October 2006]{{dead link|date=January 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> The plan was halted later that year as a debate arose about whether the land the circuit was to be built on was properly owned by the right people to do so.<ref>[http://xserve2.com/ns/ns14231.html Hasta la vista Mexico!]{{dead link|date=January 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

On 14 May 2019, Mexico City mayor [[Claudia Sheinbaum]] announced that 2019 would be the last year for the Grand Prix of Mexico because the MXN $400 million (US$20.865 million) fee was to be invested in the [[Mayan Train|Tren Maya]].
