Grand Prix circuits on a world map: every one from past rounds on one map.
The Mexican Grand Prix returned in 2015 after 23 years, with a new section winding through a baseball stadium, and Nico Rosberg won. Where?
Answer: Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, Mexico City
The track sits more than 2,200 metres above sea level, the highest on the calendar, so the thin air starves engines and brakes of cooling.
Sergio Pérez, who won six Grands Prix for Red Bull and Racing Point, is from which city in the Mexican state of Jalisco?
Answer: Guadalajara, Mexico
Pérez's first win came at Sakhir in 2020 for Racing Point, then five more for Red Bull; his 2022 Monaco win was the first by a Mexican there.
Lewis Hamilton slowed deliberately to back Nico Rosberg into the chasing pack in the 2016 decider, but Rosberg held second and took the title. Where?
Answer: Yas Marina, Abu Dhabi
Rosberg announced his retirement five days later. His father Keke had been champion in 1982.
Sergio Pérez won his first Grand Prix in 2020 from last place after a first-lap collision, while George Russell nearly won on his first outing for Mercedes. Where?
Answer: Bahrain International Circuit, Sakhir
The race used the circuit's short outer loop, with laps of under a minute. Russell was stopped by a pit stop mix-up and a puncture.
Nelson Piquet finished fifth, exhausted, in 1981 to win his first world title by a single point from Carlos Reutemann, at a race in a casino car park. Where?
Answer: Caesars Palace, Las Vegas
Alan Jones won the race, his last before retiring from the sport that year. Reutemann, who had started from pole, faded to eighth and lost the title by a point.
