Mexico City to welcome Ricciardo and F1

Australia's Daniel Ricciardo will go around Mexico City's historic and famed square to give the locals a taste of what's to follow in Formula One action.

Australian ace Daniel Ricciardo will go around Mexico City's famous historic central square to give the locals a taste of what to expect when Formula One comes to town.

Five months before the return of Formula One racing to Mexico, Red Bull teammates Ricciardo and Spain's Carlos Sainz will navigate around the specially-constructed course on The Zocalo to promote the Mexican Grand Prix at the Hermanos Rodriguez Autodrome on November 1.

"I'm really looking forward to this very special trip to Mexico," said Ricciardo. "The demo runs in the city centre should be amazing and everyone is up for putting on a really big show.

"Mexico City's huge and I know that Mexican people are really into F1, so I'm looking forward to seeing just how big a crowd we can bring out on the day."

Ricciardo said he was looking forward to taking the car on a spin around the huge central square on June 27.
