The Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is expected to surpass last year's attendance record of 192,000 fans, welcoming guests from over 105 countries for the 2025 championship as it heads for a potential three-way showdown in the UAE.

After Max Verstappen’s victory and McLaren’s double disqualification in Las Vegas, only 24 points separate the leading Mclaren driver Lando Norris, from teammate Oscar Piastri and Redbull's Max Verstappen.

With 58 points remaining on offer for the final two rounds, there is a strong chance that the title will be decided on the track of Yas Marina Circuit at the 24th and final race of the season from December 4-7.

Final touches are being applied across the island after 12 months of planning and build-up, with 40,000 workers involved in one of the biggest sport championships.

Apart from the intense race, the Grand Prix will also be welcoming eight headline acts, including Metallica, Benson Boone, Katy Perry, and Post Malone.
