MEXICIO CITY, Mx. 10 February 2022 - Mexico City hosts Round 3 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship this Saturday (12 February) with fans returning to fill the grandstands and 22 drivers set to go flat out on the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez track.
A perfect mix of long, fast straights and a technical infield section that passes right through the legendary Foro Sol stadium – packed with 40,000 fans creating Mexico City’s distinctive vibrant atmosphere - the long-standing host circuit is known for producing intense races and high drama.
Fresh from a third placed finish in Round 2 and a strong opening weekend for his new team, ROKiT Venturi Racing’s Lucas di Grassi is one to watch in Mexico. The Brazilian has made two trips to the top step in Mexico City, most recently in Season 5 after his first win in front of the Foro Sol two seasons earlier. Teammate #edomortara is looking to continue his fine opening weekend form and stay at the top of the drivers’ standings after winning the second of two races in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia.
Mortara’s win followed reigning World Champion Nyck de Vries’ victory in Round 1, as Mercedes-EQ immediately got to grips with the all-new Duels qualifying format. De Vries and teammate #stoffelvandoorne threw down the gauntlet with a formidable one-two finish in the opening race of the seaon.
The German manufacturer sits just a point behind its ‘customer’ outfit in the Teams’ World Championship ahead of the trip to Mexico, with Mercedes power currently the benchmark.
The competition is as close as it has ever been in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. Avalanche Andretti’s #jakedennis and Envision Racing’s #robinfrijns have got their hands on silverware already this season and look to have the pace to mix it in the race for top spot.
TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team and Jaguar TCS #racing also showed glimpses of pace, with fourth for Andre Lotterer and #sambird the best they could muster. There’s more to come from both, with Porsche’s race pace improving over the Diriyah weekend, and Jaguar having a strong record in Mexico City, with #mitchevans winning the last time the series raced there.
With the fans returning to fill Foro Sol, this season they will see new artwork that represents the modern, progressive, innovative values of Formula E’s race locations. The patterns draw on the rich cultural history of Mexico and combine this with modern day artistic influences featuring a diverse tapestry of colours and patterns celebrating traditional techniques such as weaving, ceramics and mosaics, in a modern way.
The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship returns to Mexico City on 12 February for Round 3 in the biggest-ever 16 race calendar at the Circuit Hermanos Rodriguez with the race starting at 16:00 local time. Find out where to watch for all the latest updates and session times.
