Mexico City is looking unlikely to host the fifth round of the championship on March 19th, 2016. The city was one of the runaway favourites to host the eprix when Alejandro Agag was asked about this season’s calendar earlier in the year.

However, it seems that Mexico is unlikely to be featuring on the calendar according to a spokesperson for the Formula E championship.

Formula E Zone believes that Formula E has come to an agreement with a city, to host the fifth round of the championship before the calendar was announced at the World Motor Sport Council in Mexico City.

Formula E have made an arrangement to release the news at a later date that will benefit the city in question.

The fifth round could be given to Lugano in Switzerland, which is believed to be the most likely candidate to host the to be confirmed race on the calendar, but now with Mexico looking out of the equation the chance of a Swiss ePrix could become very likely.

Recently a video was released on YouTube stating the race could take place on the 7th May 2016, which would not make this race round five of the championship, but Formula E has revealed that it does have a chance to move things around if needed.

In addition, Formula E has been in talks with other cities unknown to Formula E Zone about staging a race, but it still seems that the race has already been approved by both parties and is awaiting an announcement.
