Grand Prix The 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

So here we are, the final race of the season, and we have a three way fight for the Drivers World Championship. Lando Norris is in "pole position", with a twelve point lead over Max Verstappen. Max, in turn, has a four point lead over Oscar Piastri. Now is your chance to ruminate, cogitate, and speculate, about what the result might be, and what the outcome of the Championship will be. You might also take the opportunity to speculate over who might affect whom during the race, such as the suggestion by Red Bull at the end of the Qatar race that Kimi Antonelli deliberately got out of Lando Norris way. A suggestion they have now withdrawn, and profusely apologised for after Antonelli received death threats. Yes, seriously, there are people that deranged out there who can't tell the difference between sport and real life.

Sky TV (for those watching in the UK) have their usual in-depth coverage.

No lengthy opinion or character assassination from me yet, I shall save that for my Big Fat Season Review, which I'm sure you will all be delighted to know will be making a come back for 2025.

Enjoy.

red bull put out a 2nd statement, although its been hidden by their non apology to kimi antonelli "Regretfully, we have parted ways with Yuki Tsunoda for this weekend. Given the first three way title fight in 15 years, we felt it was essential to bring in a driver with proven experience of playing a major part under the pressure of a World Championship finale"

So someone who last raced in F1 13 years ago and didn't achieve much is somehow better qualified to support Max?

I smell bovine excrement.

 

[Brogan]

Fixed.

ah sorry I think I might’ve gone a bit too serious with it i thought it was too outlandish to be true, either that or my Photoshop skills are better than I thought!

I think it's supposed to be a joke based on Petrov having an impact on Vettel winning the title for RBR in 2010.

I'm working with the hse... my irony senses are seriously depleted.

It’s going down to the wire, as McLaren didn’t make a driver choice.

Who would have thought at the summer break that the title fight would still be this close heading into the final race? Yet Lando, Max and Oscar all arrive in Abu Dhabi with a real chance. Piastri missing FP1 due to regulations means he will have slightly less track time than the others, but he remains fully in the fight.

For fans attending, plenty will be happening around the circuit. The venue has several areas with games, photo spots, live entertainment, food stalls and activities throughout the weekend, plus evening shows that enhance the overall atmosphere. The likes of Post Malone, Katy Perry, Metallica, Elyanna and Benson Boone are all scheduled to perform at the 2025 event. This fan zones guide gives a good overview of the main zones and activities.

It is shaping up to be a great finale both on and off the track.
