Yas Marina Circuit, Abu Dhabi: Fans were in for a treat at Yas Marina Circuit on Thursday, as this year’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix weekend sees the return of the beloved pit lane walk to get an up-close look at the 10 teams as they prepare for the final race of the 2021 F1 season on Sunday.    

With the drivers and team working hard to get their cars ready for what will be an exciting weekend of racing on the new Yas Marina Circuit track, three-day ticket holders were able to walk through the iconic pit lane at the Abu Dhabi track and get a glimpse of their favourite racers gearing up for the monumental weekend.  

Traveling all the way from Scotland for this weekend’s final race, F1 super fan David Stuart expressed his delight at seeing the Mercedes AMG car and 7-time world champion, Lewis Hamilton in-person of the first time. David said: “It’s been a lifelong dream of mine to get to the final race of the F1 season, and I can’t wait for this weekend’s showdown with Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton here in Abu Dhabi. 

“The new track changes will hopefully help with some exciting racing and a few moments of magic from Number 44 to take home the championship!” 

Also in attendance was 12-year-old, Abdullah Nasser from Abu Dhabi, who dreams of one day racing on the iconic Yas Marina Circuit course and was thrilled to be at the track for the first time. He said “This is the first year I’ve been to Yas Marina Circuit which is funny since I was born in the same year that the F1 first came to Abu Dhabi.” 

“I’ve been watching Formula One since I was just 4 years old, and hope to one day get on the circuit to compete with the best. I think I’ve got what it takes, so fingers crossed you’ll see me on the track again in a few years time!” 

This weekend’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix kicks off with qualifying sessions on Friday and Saturday on the new-look track before the grand finish to the Formula One season at Yas Marina Circuit on Sunday, in what will be a spectacular ending to a thrilling championship.
