About Abu Dhabi

Formula One’s only twilight race of the year. The 55-lap race starts under the glare of the desert sun and ends under the bright Yas Marina spotlights. The 5.5km track isn’t the most inspiring on the calendar – a quick first sector is followed by a series of second-gear corners and chicanes – but the peerless facilities (even the pit garages are air conditioned) make this race weekend an enjoyable one. For the past two years, a young driver test has taken place at the circuit, so this is a racetrack that the teams know better than most.
