Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo's Vienna Demonstration Run (Infiniti Red Bull Racing )

Months before Mexico makes an eagerly awaited return to the F1 calendar, Red Bull will bring F1 power to the people with a demonstration run in the heart of Mexico City on Saturday 27 June.

After a 23-year absence, F1 will return to Mexico in November at the city's legendary Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez and to kick off the celebrations Daniel Ricciardo and Carlos Sainz will pilot the team's double-championship winning RB7 at a specially constructed course in the city's most famous and most historic square - the Zocalo.

Officially known as Plaza de la Constitución, the Zocalo not only features the city's cathedral but also the ruins of the great Aztec city of Tenochtitlan, with the ancient complex's Templo Mayor, the seat of Aztec power, just one block away.

Spectators at the free public event will witness three-time grand prix-winner Daniel Ricciardo and Toro Rosso's Carlos Sainz, put the Renault-powered V8 through its paces around the perimeter of the 57,600m2 plaza.
