Do not miss any of the action and check out all the session start times for the second round of the 2026 Formula E season – the Mexico City E-Prix, held in Mexico!
Formula E is returning this weekend with the first race of the 2026 season, the Mexico City E-Prix, which is the second round of the championship. The Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez will host the event, following a dramatic season-opener in São Paulo where Jake Dennis claimed victory for Andretti. The race was marred by a frightening crash involving Cupra Kiro rookie Pepe Martí, leading to a disrupted finish and a late red flag. Mexico City is known for its fast and thrilling races, being a long-standing event on the calendar and one of the most attended due to the Foro Sol stadium’s popularity. Changes to the circuit layout have been made for this season, with the chicane after Turn 8 removed to provide a straight into Turn 9, leading to the Foro Sol stadium section. With Dennis leading the championship, all eyes are now on the upcoming race in Mexico City, where practice sessions start on Friday afternoon at 16:00 CST, followed by second practice on Saturday morning at 07:30 CST. Qualifying is set for 09:40 CST, and the race itself will begin at 14:00 CST, with Rowland and Cassidy looking to challenge Dennis for the top spot.
