How is Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez laid out?

There, cars thread through Estadio GNP Seguros, the baseball stadium formerly called Foro Sol, built inside the old Peraltada curve. Tickets are sold for all three days only, and every seat is assigned to a numbered grada (grandstand).

| Lap-one chaos | Grada 4, 5 or 5A | Turns 1–3 are where the field funnels down after the start. |
| Car control through corners | Grada 10, 11 or 12 | The technical esses show off downforce and driver skill. |
