When was the track built?
In 1959. The father of Mexico’s most famous racing brothers, Ricardo and Pedro Rodriguez, was an advisor to Mexican President Adolfo Lopez Mateo, and had a word in his boss’s ear about building a racing circuit in Mexico City’s Magdalena Mixiuhca sports park using the existing internal roads. El Presidente liked the idea, and work on the track was completed in under a year.
When was its first Grand Prix?
Formula 1 cars arrived in 1962 for a non-championship race, returning the following year for a proper, bona fide Grand Prix. That 1963 race was won by Jim Clark, while for the next few years, Mexico’s fiesta vibes meant it became the traditional season-ender for Formula 1. Mexico was welcomed back onto the F1 calendar in 2015.
What’s the circuit like?
High up! The Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez sits over 2km above sea level, making the 4.3km lap a breathless experience. The track still largely follows the outline of the original 1959 circuit, the main difference being that the spectacular – and spectacularly scary – Peralta corner is now bisected, with the circuit instead winding through the old Foro Sol baseball stadium, providing one F1’s most unique vistas.
Why go?
Mexico City is one of the world’s most buzzing, vibrant metropolises. And with the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez located just to the east of the city, with a metro station ready to whip you into the downtown at the end of each day’s racing action, the Mexican Grand Prix is a fantastic chance to properly mix sport and culture.

To what extent are Red Bull going to be able to threaten given that they have to revert to spec 'B' power units for this race due to the altitude?
The altitude will level the playing field for the engines, and the red bull will run less downforce than any other car on the grid, they should be quick.They should win, however after the race in Austin, they are hoping to use (and have enough of) old components to cobble together the engines.
General reliability is the issue for them.

Hell, you know he has had a bad year, but when you see this list here, you really can appreciate just what an utter disaster it has been for him.Red Bull do a lot right, but take the media rose tinted lenses off and they do not finish enough races.

You’ve got to wonder if he would actually be up there.

It makes his decision to go to Renault seem even more insane let's face it. There is a very real chance that the Red Bull Honda will be reliable next year and it seems like it's already got a bit more grunt than the Renault donkey. Red Bull do a lot right, but take the media rose tinted lenses off and they do not finish enough races.
I'm still going to be on Verstappen to win in Melbourne.
If James Allison returns to enstone (tipped) the floor and suspension will be sorted within a season.
The Red Bull is not reliable with a Renault let alone a Honda, but at least the Honda will be built around the car.
If Renault and Seb Bull can get to the top table I’ll be a happy chappie.

So how many are the Renault and how many are the fault of the installation?Sainz 0 failures Hulk 1 failure.
Renault replace there’s before it breaks, Red Bull after.
Red bull are also ‘recycling’ parts of the PU, perhaps they would be better buying new parts.
