Mexico City. Everything about this Grand Prix is full on. The crowd is magnificent, the race always dramatic. Even without the reduced air density, it's a weekend for a sharp intake of breath. Mexico is a country with a strong racing heritage that’s been welcoming F1 since the 1960s – but that comes with a distinctive flavour that really isn't like anywhere else.
Being here is a whirl of the senses. The paddock is hectic, and the promoters have a lot of fun with everything from a taqueria to a mariachi band. This close to Día de los Muertos, we'll also have no shortage of cempasúchil and calavera make-up. However intense the season, however busy the weekend, this is a Grand Prix everyone enjoys.
