The 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is set to make history, not only due to its thrilling races but also for being the final race of Lewis Hamilton’s remarkable career with Mercedes AMG Petronas. Scheduled for December at the Yas Marina Circuit, the event promises to celebrate the essence of Formula 1 (F1) while marking a significant turning point in the sport.
Lewis Hamilton, who has achieved six Drivers’ Championships with Mercedes, will be bidding farewell to the Silver Arrows after this season. In 2025, he is set to make a high-profile switch to Ferrari, but before that, he aims to end his time with Mercedes on a high note in Abu Dhabi.
The 2024 F1 season has been filled with surprises and intense competition. Ferrari’s unexpected 1-2 finish in the Australian Grand Prix set the stage for a season where the top teams—Red Bull, McLaren, and Mercedes—have each secured victories, keeping the championship battle wide open. Adding on, this race will also be Carlos Sainz’s last with Ferrari, making the event even more poignant.
In addition to the main F1 event, the weekend will feature support races from Formula 2, Formula 4, and the F1 Academy. Local drivers Hamda and Amna Al Qubaisi will compete on their home circuit, bringing a touch of local pride and excitement. These support races offer fans a chance to see rising talent in action, complementing the high-stakes drama of Formula 1.
Furthermore, English rock band MUSE, American rock band Maroon 5, and American Rapper Eminem are said to set the stage on fire during the event.
With a combination of exhilarating racing, live concerts, and emotional farewells, the 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix at Yas Marina Circuit offers something for everyone. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this historic event.
