Abu Dhabi, like this season, will host the last event of the world championship in 2010. Formula 1. The Yas Marina circuit, unanimously praised by the drivers on the grid, will once again offer a Grand Prix at sunset, since the start of the race will be at 17 p.m.

Other races will have their start postponed: Australia (17 p.m.), Malaysia (16 p.m.), Canada (12 p.m.), Singapore (20 p.m.) and Japan (15 p.m.).

If the Australian Grand Prix will take place on the same weekend as in 2009, it will not be the start of the season since it is Bahrain which will open 2010, on March 14. The Canadian and British Grands Prix, which have ensured their financial future, have been validated by the FIA.

The last question concerns the Korean Grand Prix, which is to be held on October 24. The circuit must be validated before the Grand Prix is definitively assured. Click here to see the full calendar for the 2010 F1 season.
