Trackside

The one negative about this spot is that you are limited to a very small part of the grand prix precinct and I’m not certain that you have access to the Fanzone with the best food, merchandise and activities. (I didn’t try to get to it while there and I can’t find any certainty on Google). Food options in the section were limited to Dominos margarita pizzas, hamburgers or bread rolls with limited fillings. There was a Heineken bar but all drinks, including water, were served in cups. This made it pretty inconvenient to take drinks back to the crowded seating areas. I bought a Mexico GP merchandise bottle and filled it with water each day.

Pitlane walk & autograph sessions

Keep your ears and eyes on social media and the dedicated Mexico GP race app in the lead up and be ready for plenty of pushing and showing at the gate for entry to pit lane walk and drivers’ autograph session. A Thursday evening autograph session was advertised for 3-day pass holders but when we got there, we spent an hour trying to convince the staff to let us in. Some people were granted entry and others not. We were fortunate to get in and saw many drivers, including Checo, Nico and Dan (all my favorites!). I was also very happy to get a selfie with Ted Kravitz, my F1 tech guru from Sky Sports.
