Mexico City has signed a new three-year deal to keep a Formula 1 Grand Prix until at least 2025.

 

The first race under the new contract with the circuit Hermanos Rodriguez will take place on 27-29 October next year.

 

Mexico returned to the calendar in 2015, after previous stints on the calendar in the 1960s and from 1986-92.

 

F1 president and chief executive officer Stefano Domenicali called the atmosphere at the event "incredible".

 

He added: "Every year the race attracts a large number of passionate fans."

 

In its latest iteration, Mexico has always been twinned with the US Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, which will be the case again next season.
