The program for the 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

That's it, it's (almost) over! The 2024 season is coming to an end with this last meeting of the year, the Abu Dhabi GP (December 6-8), the 24th and final round of a long and intense campaign. As usual since 2014, it is the Yas Marina circuit that hosts the final race of the championship, while the circuit celebrates its 15th anniversary this year.

Present on the calendar of the Formula 1 Since 2009, the Abu Dhabi GP has been the first to be held at dusk, with a daytime start and nighttime finish. In 2021, the circuit – now 5,281km long – has undergone major changes with the removal of the chicane after Turn 4 and the triple chicane at the end of the second straight. There will be two DRS zones this year, on the two main straights including the one after the Turn 5 hairpin.

Among the drivers on the grid, only three have already won in Abu Dhabi: Lewis Hamilton (2014, 2016, 2018 and 2019), Valtteri Bottas (2017) et Max Verstappen, who has won four consecutive races at Yas Marina (2020, 2021, 2022, 2023). The Dutchman also holds the race lap record, with a time of 1'26″103 set… in 2021, during his first world title.
