F1 and Yas Marina Circuit on Thursday extended their partnership to host Abu Dhabi Grand Prix for 10 more years up to at least 2030.
Formula One announced on Twitter that Abu Dhabi have extended their deal to host high-energy races with the inaugural race back in 2009 at the venue well into the future as the United Arab Emirates becomes one of the top venues on the F1 calendar.
The deal also means the Abu Dhabi will continue to host the final race of the Formula 1 season in its now traditional slot to bring the curtain down on the year-long campaign.
“The promoter always creates an incredible show for the final race of every F1 season and combined with the changes made to improve the racing on Yas Marina Circuit we are excited for the many years of racing in Abu Dhabi that are ahead of us,” F1 president Stefano Domenicali said.
Sunday’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, which is the 22nd race of this year and also the final round in the 2021 World Championship, will name this year’s champion.
The 2021 title contenders, Red Bull Racing Honda’s Dutch driver Max Verstappen and Mercedes’ British star Lewis Hamilton collected 369.5 points each before this weekend’s race in the United Arab Emirates.
