When and where

The action unfolds on Sunday, December 8, at the iconic Yas Marina Circuit on Yas Island. The 58-lap race will take drivers through the challenging 5.281-kilometre track, a favorite for its unique twilight setting and breathtaking views.

Final chapter of 2024

This year's season has been nothing short of historic, with Max Verstappen and Red Bull securing the drivers’ championship in Las Vegas. The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, however, is far from a victory lap.
