About the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix has been held at the Yas Marina Circuit since 2009 and has traditionally closed the Formula 1 season, so championships are often settled here. The race is a day-to-night event: it starts late in the afternoon and finishes under floodlights after sunset. The layout was reworked in 2021 to make overtaking easier, removing several slow corners.
Abu Dhabi is four hours ahead of UTC, so the race begins in the early afternoon in Europe and an hour earlier on the clock in Türkiye than in Abu Dhabi. That makes the season finale easy to watch live. The schedule on this page shows every session in your own time zone.
