I'm quite certain that the oval at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez is nowhere near up to snuff for IndyCar. For starters, there's basically no space on the inside of the corners, which will be very problematic for cars both entering and exiting the pits with race traffic still at oval speeds.

I don't think that Chase Carey would take as much issue with it as Bernie, but having both open-wheel races that close together just seems odd.

I wonder if the series wants two off weekends going into Mexico City, and thus consider the early-season break just a bit too short. (I don't know, but it could be possible; it's probably more involved crossing the border to and from Mexico than it is with Canada.)
