Formula 1 continues to gain popularity. Whether it’s in the United States, Europe, or Asia, fans are increasingly following the adventures of the drivers and their teams on circuits around the world. As a country with a rich automobile culture, Mexico has been an important stop in the calendar for several years.<\/p>\n
The popularity of Sergio Perez helping, Red Bull driver’s father, Antonio Perez Garibay, would thus be heading a project to bring Formula 1 to the city of Cancun, in addition to the already organized Mexican Grand Prix. In an interview with the Mexican press, Perez announces that the plans are already well advanced and that it is planned for the seaside resort facing Cuba to submit its application to the FIA by mid-July.<\/p>\n
The most important thing is that the FIA and F1 already eagerly await our application. They have opened the doors for me.<\/p>\n
A few years ago, P\u00e9rez had already tried to bring Formula 1 to Guadalajara in the state of Jalisco, where the family of the recent second-place finisher in the Bahrain GP is originally from. Since this project could not come to fruition, Sergio’s father has set his sights on Cancun for a Grand Prix that would be organized in the city. “It will be the best Grand Prix in the world and in the history of this country,” Antonio P\u00e9rez Garibay ambitiously claims.<\/p>\n
This project is notably supported by billionaire Carlos Slim, known for heavily investing in motorsports for many years, particularly in Sergio P\u00e9rez’s career. With these strong financial foundations, the Cancun Grand Prix could, according to Sergio P\u00e9rez’s father, have a place on the F1 calendar for the period 2025-2030.<\/p>\n
In 2014, while the return of Formula 1 to Mexico was being discussed, several tracks were envisioned and Canc\u00fan was already mentioned as the favorite.<\/p>\n
As a reminder, the F1 calendar initially consisted of 24 races in 2023 before the withdrawal of the Chinese Grand Prix, but the agreements signed between the FIA and F1 currently limit the number of races to 25 per season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
