PlanYourAbu DhabiGrand Prix

F1 track action starts on Friday at Yas Marina with two, 1-hour free practice sessions (FP1 & FP2) for teams to find the perfect setup.

Free practice 3 (FP3) takes place on Saturday afternoon, building up to qualifying; a 3-part session where lap times decide starting positions for the Grand Prix on Sunday.

This is when the grandstands really start to fill up. 2 hours before lights out, drivers warm-up for the race by waving at fans and answering questions. Last chance photo op before the helmets go on.

The driver’s parade at the Abu Dhabi GP is from 15:00 – 15:30 on Sunday.

A good chance to see the star drivers of the future. F2, the feeder series to F1 has seen many well-known names pass through its ranks. The single-seater cars have an identical chassis, engine and tyres which means it’s all about driver skill and the racing is close.

On Friday the F2 action starts with a 45-minute practice session in the morning and a 30-minute qualifying in the afternoon. The Sprint Race is on Saturday and the Feature Race on Sunday.

The UAE FIA-sanctioned F4 championship – a single-seater series that’s usually the next step after karting for F1 hopefuls.

F4 is scheduled for a 45-minute practice session on Friday and a 30-minute qualifying later in the day. Saturday and Sunday each see one race lasting about 25 minutes.
