For the first time in over twenty years, Formula 1 returns to the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City for round 17 of the 2015 Formula One season.
With both championship battles now over, the ten teams and 20 drivers are fighting for pride more than anything else in the remaining three rounds of the championship.
As in America, Sky Sports have exclusive live coverage of the racing from Mexico, with BBC broadcasting highlights on Saturday and Sunday in the fringes of primetime. The main piece of programming from Sky aside from their live action is a new edition of Tales from the Vault, focussing on the original Lotus team.

If anything changes, like Austin last weekend, I will update the schedule.
Update on October 28th – An adjustment to Sky’s schedules. The edition of Architects of F1, featuring Flavio Briatore, has been moved to after coverage of the Brazilian Grand Prix. In its original post-Mexico slot is a new episode of Tales from the Vault.
I’d really love 20 teams!
Have swapped! Thanks
back when i first started watchinf f1 they 32 drivers turn and they had to have pre qually.
Painful timeslot for BBC2 Qualifying Highlights, directly against MOTD, would not be surprised if it just slides above 1m viewers
qually must be effected by not being live a lot. It only has 24hrs and then you wont watch when the race is over. I personally a die hard f1 as watch less qualifying this year than the last 15. I just don’t feel interested in it any more.
F1 Focus is on the BBC website now….
