Abu Dhabi has long been part of the Formula 1 furniture since its inaugural race in 2009, and it now sits proudly as the season finale. It was further immortalised as the scene of the climax of one of F1’s most bitter rivalries, when Max Verstappen edged out Lewis Hamilton for his maiden world title in 2021, with Netflix’s Drive to Survive dramatically capturing one of the sport’s most iconic moments.
The glitz, glamour and beauty of the Yas Marina Circuit has further pushed the race up many sport fans’ bucket lists, making it a genuine “destination experience”, with all types of travellers catered for in the region and further afield across the rest of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
