The Briefing:

  • Canaco CDMX projects MXN$22.228 billion (approx. US$1.2 billion) in economic activity from the 2026 Mexico City Grand Prix — a 6.5% increase over 2025 and the largest single-race projection in the event's modern history.
  • Sergio "Checo" Pérez races in Mexico for the first time since leaving Red Bull, now driving for Cadillac alongside Valtteri Bottas — the 71-lap race on November 1 sold out within days of tickets going on sale.
  • Mexico City's F1 hosting deal runs through 2028, with cumulative economic output across the three remaining editions projected at MXN$92 billion — anchored by the race's unique overlap with Día de Muertos and a decade of commercial infrastructure.
