FIA expected Mexico City GP drivers in place for anthem by 13:42

Before the 2026 Mexico City Grand Prix, the FIA’s pre-race procedure set out the anthem timetable: drivers were to move to the national-anthem position at 13:40 and were expected to be there no later than 13:42.

The anthem was scheduled for 13:44. Drivers were required to wear only their race suits throughout it, and the procedure said failures to comply would be reported to the stewards.
