Encyclopedia
The Mexican Grand Prix (Gran Premio de Mexico) was a Formula One
auto race
held at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez
in Mexico City
. It first appeared as a non-championship event in 1962 before being held as a championship event from 1963-1970 and 1986-1992.
circuit. The circuit was the first international racetrack in Mexico and was built within a park in the capital city of Mexico City
. The race provided rare challenges racing at high-altitude and the challenge of the large 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 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 team mate Trevor Taylor
to claim the first win after Clark was black-flagged after receiving a push-start at a confused race start. The meeting was marred by the death og young Mexican star Ricardo Rodríguez who as a teenager was already a works Ferrari driver. Despite this, Rodriguez died after injuries received crashing a Rob Walker run Lotus 24
on the peraltada. The Formula One World Championship arrived the following year with Clark winning again. The race continued until 1970 when it was dropped from the calendar. An enormous crowd of approximately 200,000 arrived to see Pedro Rodríguez
, but officials struggled to control the crowd with at one point a dog running across the track and was hit by Jackie Stewart. Clark won the race again in 1967, his three wins establishing himself as the most prolific winner of the race to this day.
. Five years later with much improved organisation the race returned to Mexico City in 1986 where the raced played host to Gerhard Berger's first race win in his Benetton B186
in a race where an ill Berger outlasted his opposition as tyres problems struck most of the field. The race again enjoyed a short stay on the calendar with the race last being held in 1992 where Williams pair Nigel Mansell and Riccardo patrese dominated the race. By this point the bumps had decayed even further and the decline of Mexico City itself with increasing crowding and pollution problems saw Formula One leave for good. 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. In a six year stay which saw Sébastien Bourdais
win half of the six races that followed.
