Buckle up, motorsport enthusiasts! The 2024 Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is on the horizon, promising to be a landmark event. This year’s race isn’t just another competition — it marks the end of an era as Lewis Hamilton bids farewell to Mercedes AMG Petronas.
At the Yas Marina Circuit, Hamilton’s final race with Mercedes will unfold, making it a pivotal moment in F1 history. Fresh off a thrilling victory at Silverstone, where he narrowly defeated Max Verstappen, Hamilton’s last race with Mercedes promises to be an epic spectacle.
Lewis Hamilton, renowned for his speed, skill, and relentless drive, ended a three-year winless streak with his ninth triumph at Silverstone. This victory sets the stage for his grand finale in Abu Dhabi before he transitions to Ferrari in 2025.
Hamilton’s departure from Mercedes, a partnership that yielded six Drivers’ Championships, will be an emotional milestone, making the 2024 Abu Dhabi GP an event not to miss.
For those with tickets, the excitement extends beyond the racetrack. The Yasalam After-Race Concerts are returning, featuring headliners like Eminem, Maroon 5, and Muse, promising unforgettable entertainment.
Ticket holders will also enjoy complimentary access to Yas Island’s top attractions, including Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, Warner Bros. World, Yas Waterworld, Seaworld Abu Dhabi, the Louvre Abu Dhabi, and Qasr Al Watan.
