F1 is screeching back into the Middle East again. Unfortunately we could not enjoy the festivities on Bahrain soil this year but petrol-heads, drivers and the rest of the F1 party crowd are all making their way to Abu Dhabi in November.

This year, Yas Marina Circuit is hosting the penultimate race of the season, which is set to be fast, fierce and furious. Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel won the Drivers’ Championship in Abu Dhabi last year, (at 23, becoming the youngest World Drivers’ Champion in the sport’s history). He has already secured his win again this season, sealing the deal in Japan a few weeks ago with three races to spare. But the stakes are still high for the rest of the drivers and all eyes will be on the UAE once again to see who will finish first on Sunday November 13.

But, of course, there’s much more to this event than the races. Family activities, huge concerts, community events, and of course, hard partying are all part of the F1 experience in Abu Dhabi.
