Race promoters in Mexico City will hold talks with INDYCAR officials in January 2025 about bringing a race to the city in 2026.
NASCAR will hold a full points race in Mexico City in 2026 for the first time since July 158 when NASCAR traveled to Canada.
Arrow McLaren’s Pato O’Ward took part in Free Practice 1 in Mexico on Friday and ended the session in 13th place just 1.297s behind Mercedes George Russell who was fastest.
Speaking following the session, O’Ward said:
A fabulous day today really, I very much enjoyed my FP1 outing in Mexico. The crowd was unbelievable, and I’m super happy that I was able to extract everything from the programme that the team had planned. It was great to be able to support Lando, Oscar and the team in learning and set-up, and contribute in a positive way to the weekend. I can’t wait to see what the team can do tomorrow and in the race on Sunday.”
