Mexican GP organisers have won the ‘best promoter’ award at the FIA’s annual end-of-season prizegiving every year since the race rejoined the F1 schedule in 2015. The organisers received government funding, reported by the Financial Times to be worth around £16million, in order to revive the race after a 23-year absence.However, the country's president Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has said that money will be spent on a multi-billion-pound, almost-1000-mile long railway project. The Mayan Train aims to connect the ancient site of Palenque with the east-coast tourist resort Cancun.

Under Liberty Media, F1 is currently headed by Chase Carey as chief executive, with the American on a rolling contract that he is happy to continue with but one that may end after the 2020 season. Speculation has built over who may replace Carey, with Mercedes boss Wolff - one of the key components of F1's dominating team since he took a leadership role in 2013 - among those linked with a position helping run F1.
