F1 25 Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez Setup & Track Guide

The Mexican Grand Prix is a mix of ultra-long straights, a tight and technical stadium section, and medium-speed corners that test your balance between low drag and enough downforce for grip. Crucially, the high altitude reduces air density, meaning you’ll run high wings but still achieve big top speeds.


Sector 1: Main Straight & First Complex

Start/Finish Straight

  • One of the longest straights on the calendar — DRS wide open, minimal drag setup.
  • ERS deployment is powerful here; use it wisely, especially in qualifying.

Turns 1–3 (Heavy Braking Chicane)

  • Brake at ~100m marker, down to 2nd gear.
  • Big overtaking zone — but be careful, it’s easy to outbrake yourself.
  • Clip the apex of Turn 1, swing wide for Turn 2, and straighten up Turn 3 to maximize exit speed.

Sector 2: Medium-Speed Sweepers

Turns 4–6 (Esses + Hairpin)

  • Short burst after T3, brake early for T4 (down to 3rd gear), then flow into T5 and T6.
  • Prioritize a clean, balanced line — don’t rush throttle out of T6 or you’ll slide wide.

Turns 7–11 (Fast S-Curves)

  • The famous Mexico Esses: confidence and precision matter.
  • Small lifts or feathering the throttle; don’t overcommit or you’ll invalidate the lap or spin.
  • Use curbs gently, not aggressively — too much curb unsettles the car.

Sector 3: Stadium Section

Turns 12–13 (Slow Entry)

  • Brake hard down to 2nd gear, watch the inside curb — it’s raised and can bounce the car.
  • Keep it tight but prioritize clean exit.

Turns 14–16 (Stadium Hairpins)

  • This is the slowest part of the lap, surrounded by grandstands.
  • Patience on throttle, avoid understeer pushing you wide.
  • Final right-hander leads back to the straight — maximize exit, as the straight is critical for lap time.

Car Setup Tips

  • Wings: Medium–high downforce — higher than you’d expect because thin air reduces drag.
  • Suspension: Softer to handle curbs and maintain grip in the stadium.
  • Differential: Slightly more open on-throttle to manage slow exits.
  • Brakes: Medium–high pressure; rearward bias helps avoid front lockups into heavy braking zones.
  • Tyres: Rear management is key; avoid overheating by controlling wheelspin out of slow corners.

Driving Tips

Maximize straight-line speed: Focus on good exits onto long straights, especially out of Turn 16.
Careful ERS usage: Best saved for the long start/finish straight.
Brake consistently: Especially into Turns 1 and 4, which are major overtaking points.
Stay smooth through the Esses: It’s easy to lose rhythm or spin here — smooth inputs win.

How can I stop wheel spin at Mexico?

There are a few slower corners at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez. These all require heavy acceleration on the exit, which can lead to wheelspin. You can reduce this by lowering your on-throttle differential and rear tyre pressures.

Is the Mexican circuit a high or low downforce track?

The long straights around Mexico can lead to high top speeds in F1 24. The rest of the track does require a good amount of downforce. This means that the Mexican track requires a fairly balanced aero setup allowing you to be fast in all sectors.
