Ahead of this weekend's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, we look back at some of the most memorable moments from previous races at Yas Marina Circuit

Just one more race will bring the 2023 Formula 1 season to an end with the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix at the Yas Marina Circuit.

Max Verstappen is looking for a seventh win in a row to edge closer to his own record of 10 victories on the spin and he's won the last three Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Red Bull will take some stopping to not end their dominant season on a high, with attention on the battle for second place in the constructors' championship as Mercedes are only four points ahead of Ferrari.

Charles Leclerc's superb second place and Carlos Sainz finishing sixth last time out in Las Vegas has given Ferrari a big opportunity to beat Mercedes in the standings.

McLaren's disappointment in Vegas means they are only 11 points in front of Aston Martin in the fight for fourth and a strong weekend for AlphaTauri, Alfa Romeo or Haas could see their positions in eighth, ninth and 10th change after Sunday.

Charles Leclerc & Max Verstappen discuss their lap one incident and joke about their past karting confrontations after the Las Vegas GP.

Abu Dhabi is four hours ahead of the United Kingdom, with qualifying and the race held at dusk, so the key sessions of the weekend will take place in the early afternoon.

  • Build-up to Sunday's Grand Prix begins at 11.30am ahead of lights out at 1pm.

You can also watch every session of the Formula 2 finale in Abu Dhabi live on Sky Sports F1, as championship leader Theo Pourchaire looks to hold off Frederik Vesti and Ayumu Iwasa in the race for the title.
