The 2017 Grand Prix season is nearly at an end, but not just yet, first we\u2019ve got the Abu Dhabi race at the YAS Marina Circuit to look forward to and it\u2019s always a spectacular occasion. The 305.355km course has a circuit length of 5.554km so the race is a total of 55 thrilling laps. The lap record for this course is held by Sebastian Vettel who set a record of 1:40.279 back in 2009, the first year the course featured in the F1 Grand Prix.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re keen to watch the race and all the practice sessions and qualifying, then get ready for a great weekend\u2026<\/p>\n

There are three practice sessions, two on Friday 24th<\/sup> November and one on Saturday 25th<\/sup>. The Friday sessions are 13:00 \u2013 14:30 and 17:00 \u2013 18:30. The Saturday session is from 14:00 to 15:00. Qualifying is also on Saturday from 17:00 to 18:00 and then the race is on Sunday from 17:00 to 19:00.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s set to be highly exciting. World champion Lewis Hamilton has won nine times so far in the 2017 season and he says he\u2019s going to give it everything he\u2019s got in Abu Dhabi to make it ten wins. Hamilton has already won the championship, but he\u2019s certainly not going to be sitting back and taking it easy.<\/p>\n

Back in 2015 he found himself in a similar situation. He\u2019d already secured his position as world champion, but then felt disappointed when he lost all of the final three races. This year, he wants to finish on a high note. He\u2019s won two out of the last three races, and he\u2019s going all out to win the final race at Abu Dhabi too.<\/p>\n

While the world champion has already been determined, the constructor\u2019s championship is still up for the taking, with Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull all hoping it will be their victory.<\/p>\n
