Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2025
Times displayed in your local time zone.
Welcome to the Yas Marina Circuit, located on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, the host of Formula 1's final event of the year, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
With state-of-the-art facilities and unique features like driving under the Yas Hotel that spans part of the track and a pit lane tunnel, Yas Marina quite literally sets the sun on the F1 season.
A recent reprofiling of the circuit has sped up a lap of the track and has improved wheel-to-wheel action to make Abu Dhabi end the year in style.
Circuit Overview:
The modern-day Yas Marina Circuit measures 5.281 km (3.281 miles) with 16 turns, beginning with a short run around Sector 1's four corners that lead into Sector 2's tight hairpin.
Two helpings of DRS zones blast the cars down two straights, with a tight chicane at the end of the first, and a sweeping left-hand hairpin ending the second.
The final sector brings the challenge to a close with twists around the eponymous marina and under the illuminated exoskeleton of the Yas Hotel to complete a fast-paced lap of Abu Dhabi's circuit.
