- ·October in Mexico City: 18–24°C, dry, and sunny. Excellent race conditions.
- ·The Foro Sol stadium section at the Autodromo (turns 1–3) is unique in F1 — 50,000 stadium seats encircle a tight technical section, creating extraordinary noise and atmosphere.
- ·Mexico City food outside the circuit is outstanding — tlayudas, tacos al pastor, and pozole are all extraordinary at street level.
