The Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix were cancelled this season because of the regional conflict, so it&#8217;s a fair question. However, the Abu Dhabi GP is all set to go ahead as planned. On 16 October, Saif Al Noaimi, CEO of the organiser Ethara, said &#8220;It&#8217;s happening&#8230; on schedule.&#8221; Four days later, FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem said he expects both the Qatar and Abu Dhabi races to go ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/27155740\/abu-dhabi-grand-prix-yas-marina-aerial-circuit-1024x576.webp\" alt=\"Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Guide\" class=\"wp-image-94262\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/27155740\/abu-dhabi-grand-prix-yas-marina-aerial-circuit-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/27155740\/abu-dhabi-grand-prix-yas-marina-aerial-circuit-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/27155740\/abu-dhabi-grand-prix-yas-marina-aerial-circuit-150x84.webp 150w, https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/27155740\/abu-dhabi-grand-prix-yas-marina-aerial-circuit-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/27155740\/abu-dhabi-grand-prix-yas-marina-aerial-circuit.webp 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There&#8217;s a contingency plan. F1 reportedly has Imola in Italy, ready to host a single race on 6 December, replacing both Qatar and Abu Dhabi if needed. The uncertainty has already hit other events. The 24H Dubai in January 2027 has moved to Kyalami in South Africa. Fans don&#8217;t seem worried, though. According to reports, ticket sales are ahead of last year, when a record 339,000 people attended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-abu-dhabi-gp-2026-dates-and-schedule\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Abu Dhabi GP 2026 Dates And Schedule<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is Round 23 of the 2026 season and the 18th Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Day<\/strong><\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Session<\/strong><\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>UAE time<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Thursday 3 December<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Fan day, fan zones and concerts<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">All Day<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Friday 4 December<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Practice 1<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1:30pm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Friday 4 December<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Practice 2<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">5:00pm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Saturday 5 December<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Practice 3<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">2:30pm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Saturday 5 December<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Qualifying<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">6:00pm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Sunday 6 December<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Race (58 laps)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">5:00pm<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The support races include the F2 season finale, a round of the F4 UAE Trophy and the debut of Azzam GT.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-the-azzam-gt-race\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Azzam GT Race<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Created and owned by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yasmarinacircuit.com\/\">Yas Marina Circuit<\/a>, the championship is designed to boost the regional motorsport ecosystem by providing a dedicated, highly competitive platform for both professional and amateur GT racing teams.

It takes about 50-60 minutes in normal traffic, but race weekend traffic isn&#8217;t normal, so leave early, especially on Sunday. If you&#8217;re flying in and need a car, there are multiple car rental services at the airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-from-abu-dhabi\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>From Abu Dhabi<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From Abu Dhabi city, it&#8217;s about 25 minutes via the E10 or E12. Public buses also serve Yas Island. Route numbers differ between sources, so check the current route on the Darbi app before you set off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-can-i-take-the-etihad-rail-to-the-abu-dhabi-grand-prix\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can I Take The Etihad Rail To The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, and it&#8217;s a good way to skip the E11 traffic. Etihad Rail now runs passenger trains to Abu Dhabi from Dubai and Fujairah. All trains arrive at Mohamed bin Zayed City Station, opposite Dalma Mall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From Dubai, trains leave Al Yalayis Station in Jumeirah Golf Estates, which is linked to the Jumeirah Golf Estates Metro station on the Red Line by a 400-metre walkway. The trip takes about 64 minutes, and fares start at AED 39 in Comfort and AED 109 in Premium. There are currently five trains a day, the first at 6:14am and the last at 6:14pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From Fujairah, trains leave Al Hilal City Station and take about 1 hour 45 minutes to reach Abu Dhabi, with fares from AED 55.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the Mohamed bin Zayed City Station, the free Yas Express ER1 shuttle runs to the north entrance of Yas Mall in about 30 minutes, with departures currently at 7:40am, 1:05pm and 7:35pm. A taxi to Yas Island takes about 30 to 40 minutes, depending on traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The train suits you best if you&#8217;re staying the night in Abu Dhabi. On the current timetable, the last trains back to Dubai and Fujairah leave in the early evening, before the evening track sessions and concerts finish, so plan your trip home before you book. Tickets are sold on the Etihad Rail app, website, and at station ticket machines.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-parking-buses-and-taxis\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Parking, Buses And Taxis<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2026 parking and transport plan hasn&#8217;t been announced yet. It usually comes out in race week. Last year, Yas circular buses ran from the Yas Mall and Warner Bros. World car parks, and according to reports, 82 buses and about 3,000 taxis were on duty. After complaints about getting in and out in 2025, Ethara is considering more parking and park-and-ride options this year. We&#8217;ll add those details once they&#8217;re published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-who-could-win-the-2026-title\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who Could Win The 2026 Title?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Standings after the US GP, 25 October.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kimi Antonelli leads the drivers&#8217; championship with 365 points, 123 points ahead of his Mercedes teammate George Russell on 242. Lewis Hamilton (241), Max Verstappen (236), Charles Leclerc (233) and Lando Norris (211) follow. At 20, Antonelli could become the youngest champion in F1 history, and he seems all set to seal the championship win in Mexico on the weekend of 30 Oct to 01 Nov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/27155734\/abu-dhabi-grand-prix-race-start-1-1024x576.webp\" alt=\"Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Guide\" class=\"wp-image-94258\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/27155734\/abu-dhabi-grand-prix-race-start-1-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/27155734\/abu-dhabi-grand-prix-race-start-1-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/27155734\/abu-dhabi-grand-prix-race-start-1-150x84.webp 150w, https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/27155734\/abu-dhabi-grand-prix-race-start-1-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/27155734\/abu-dhabi-grand-prix-race-start-1.webp 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the title fight is unlikely to go down to Abu Dhabi, the second and third places in the championship are still wide open. The next five drivers in the championship standings have just 31 points between them. So the fight for the next five places in the championship is likely to go down to the last lap of the Abu Dhabi GP! That should bring back some memories of 2021, especially if Max Verstappen manages to grab five more points and equal Hamilton as we head into the 2026 Abu Dhabi GP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-yas-marina-circuit-key-facts\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Yas Marina Circuit: Key Facts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Length: 5.281km, 16 turns<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Race distance: 58 laps, 306.188km<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>First Grand Prix: 2009<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lap record: 1:25.637, Kevin Magnussen, 2024<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Most wins: Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen, five each<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Title deciders here: 5 (2010, 2014, 2016, 2021, 2025)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Recent winners: Verstappen (2021, 2022, 2023, 2025) and Norris (2024).

The Turn 7 chicane was removed, Turns 11 to 14 became a single banked corner (now Turn 9), and the hotel section was opened up, all to make overtaking easier. The circuit is also used for car record attempts, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubicars.com\/news\/zeekr-7x-world-record-yas-marina-circuit.html\">Zeekr 7X world record at Yas Marina<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-formula-racing-the-emiratis-to-watch\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Formula Racing: The Emiratis To Watch<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The F4 UAE Trophy round held as a supporting race is where younger talent shines, and two of its graduates are moving up. Rashid Al Dhaheri (Van Amersfoort Racing) and Keanu Al Azhari (Hitech) will race in F3 in 2027, making them the first Emiratis on the F3 grid. Both came up through Yas Marina&#8217;s F4 programme. Azzam GT also makes its debut on race weekend, and the man running world motorsport, FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem, is Emirati too.
