The highly-anticipated Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is here, marking the final showdown of the record-breaking 2024 F1 season. With all 10 teams now in Abu Dhabi, the stage is set for a weekend of high-speed drama and intense competition.

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.

Just 21 points separate the two teams, making every corner and every pit stop critical.

Red Bull, currently holding third place over Mercedes, is poised to solidify their spot, but the midfield remains a wildcard. Expect surprises as teams vie for crucial points to close the season on a high note.
