F1 | The organizers of the Mexican GP confirm: “No damage to the circuit”

Exactly one month before the next GP, Mexico City was hit by a violent earthquake that brought the entire city to its knees. The responses of the Civil Guard announce around two hundred deaths, without considering the numerous damage to buildings and sports facilities within the capital. The F1 Circus, precisely in this sense, has rallied around the citizens, announcing various initiatives for the citizens of Mexico City. Sergio Perez, the only Mexican driver in Formula 1, announced on Twitter that he will donate $170.000 to earthquake relief. “I am deeply concerned about what my country is going through” He said “It's time to be united”.

Of note, football stadiums and the Hermanos Rodriguez circuit have been used as gathering areas as authorities battle the crisis caused by the 7.1 magnitude earthquake.

A spokesperson for the GP denied the possibility that the race would not take place next month, underlining that the racetrack had not suffered any damage. Some sources have reported damage to the road surface, especially on the main straight, but the authorities in the area have denied everything, explaining that the conditions of the track are absolutely good. A spokesperson told AS: “There have been some reports that talk about damage to the racetrack, but the conditions are excellent. In any case we will carry out some reviews in the next few days to make sure everything is ok."
