Another F1 event, another way to extract money from fans. Overpriced, as usual.
Coccinella
They've taken this everywhere. Is it really that special if it's been to 8 other places already?

This will only boost F1's popularity in Mexico even further. What a fantastic initiative!

Seeing the F1 exhibition come to Mexico is a huge win for the sport's growth in the region. Yet, I wonder if the immersive cinematic experiences truly capture the raw excitement of F1 like a live event does.

The historical content and tribute to Checo sound incredible, which is exciting for fans. However, with so many visitors expected, I hope the logistics handle the crowds well.
