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.

Ferrari's Charles Leclerc topped both practice sessions on Friday, finishing ahead of McLaren's world champion Lando Norris in the second hour by 0.103 seconds.

Championship leader Kimi Antonelli was fourth fastest, behind George Russell, while Leclerc's team-mate Lewis Hamilton stopped on track with a technical issue and ended his session in 11th.

Antonelli is 123 points clear of Mercedes team-mate 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, Radio 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.
