The Yas Marina Circuit on Abu Dhabi's Yas Island hosts Formula 1's traditional season finale, a day-into-night race that finishes under floodlights with the marina and the W Hotel glowing alongside the track. Reprofiled in 2021 into a faster, more flowing 5.281 km lap of 16 corners, it pairs long straights with a banked corner and a sweeping run through the marina.
First raced in 2009, Yas Marina has decided more than one championship. Pole laps run into the 1:22s.
