The return of the Mexican Grand Prix in 2015 was welcomed both by local fans and the wider Formula One world.

The grandstands at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez were packed last autumn, with an attendance of 336,000 over the weekend. This year, the circuit is targeting 350,000 admissions, according to Rodrigo Sanchez, the track's director of marketing and media relations, per ESPN F1's Nate Saunders.

Lewis Hamilton won last Sunday in Austin, Texas, and he needs to keep winning for the final three races of the season if he hopes to overhaul his Mercedes team-mate, Nico Rosberg, and win his fourth drivers' title.

Barring car problems or a crash for Rosberg, Hamilton's task looks almost impossible—but he looked to have lost the championship in 2008, too.

There may not be much drama behind the Mercs in the standings, but at least hopefully the title battle will come down to the final race for the second time in three years.

There is a lot of F1 history in Mexico City, with the race dating back to 1963 (with a couple big gaps). The Mexican circuit is named after the Rodriguez brothers, Ricardo and Pedro, both of whom died at the wheel—Ricardo during practice for the 1962 Mexican Grand Prix and Pedro nine years later in a sports car race at the Norisring.

The Mexican fans will have two home favourites to cheer on this weekend in Sergio Perez and Esteban Gutierrez. With the latter's F1 future still undecided, wouldn't this be the perfect time to grab his first points of the season?
