Abu Dhabi Grand Prix What to Watch
The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix this weekend marks the end of the 2017 Formula 1 World Championship.
Before the 2017 season began, there were great expectations that the best clubs would be more competitive. Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes-AMG and Sebastian Vettel of Ferrari frequently switched positions at the top of the Drivers' Championship, and there were several exciting confrontations in the first half. After the summer break, though, Ferrari's performance deteriorated as Vettel made some serious mistakes and the team struggled with reliability.
In the end, Hamilton won his fourth championship, becoming the most successful British driver in Formula One history.
The state-of-the-art Yas Marina Circuit, which has air-conditioned pit garages and the biggest permanent lighting system in the world, is hosting the season's last race.
Those who are still watching or going to the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix can enjoy the spectacle of a twilight race, in which the checkered flag is waved at night and the lights become green during the day. As a result, track and air temperatures decrease during the race, which causes the pace to increase throughout the day. This effect is further amplified by decreasing fuel loads.
Three separate sections and twenty-one twists make up the track layout, and each one presents a unique set of challenges for the vehicle. Cars and drivers are exposed to lateral acceleration of up to 4 g and speeds exceeding 155 mph at the first turn, which marks the beginning of a flowing series of bends. The final sector is tight and twisty and really puts a strain on the tires, followed by two very lengthy straights in the middle portion.
Pirelli has designated its softest compounds in the range—soft, supersoft, and ultrasoft—as a result of a smooth track surface. Additionally, based on the weather forecast, the weekend should provide pleasant weather. At 82 degrees (28 degrees Celsius), the temperature will reach its maximum.
Hamilton has 345 points in the 2017 Drivers' Championship going into Saturday's qualifying session and Sunday's race. With 302 points, Vettel is in second place, and Valtteri Bottas, Hamilton's teammate, is in third place with 280 points. Mercedes leads the Constructors' Championship with 625 points, followed by Red Bull with 358 and Ferrari with 495. Nico Rosberg won in Abu Dhabi last year. He claimed his world title at the race.
Pirelli has revealed that it would be launching two new tire compositions for the upcoming season: superhard and hypersoft. Teams will have access to harsher and softer compounds than what is now accessible thanks to this, increasing the total number of compounds to seven. Pirelli stated that it decided to respond to accusations that the compounds used this season were possibly overly conservative.
