Formula One will return to Mexico for the first time in 23 years after it was announced the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez will be included on the 2015 calendar.
There have been long-standing reports that F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone (above) has been negotiating with those who could put the wheels in motion for a comeback to the Mexico City location and now events company Corporacion Interamericana de Entretenimiento (CIE) confirmed a five-year deal has been struck.
“It is a fact,” CIE president Alejandro Soberon said.
“Start your engines, F1 will return to Mexico next year.”
The Williams of Nigel Mansell won the 1992 race but the F1 fraternity has not returned since.
The race will likely run back-to-back with the United States Grand Prix in Austin.
