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.

JAMES to ALEX
Well said, Alex. Well driven. I think best we could have achieved today.
A little bit of a difficult stint for you in a difficult time this year, but thank you for persevering.
Thank you for your support. Thank you for your future vision.
While I'm on this channel, well done to everyone — it's been a tough year, but it will only make us stronger.

Thank you everyone for this year.
I've said it a hundred times but I know it's not been easy, but I appreciate all of you.
We have some good things coming next year so I'm excited!
I feel good about it.

PIT to ALEX
That was a tight one at the end, but a brilliant effort. Well done!
I was a little bit short on tyres there to make that work, but we were in with a shout.
