It’s hard to find a more spectacular setting for a Grand Prix than Yas Island, on the eastern side of Abu Dhabi. It’s home to numerous 5-star hotels and the Ferrari World theme park, and the 5.55-kilometre (3.45-mile) Yas Marina Circuit is a suitably glamorous part of the FIA Formula One World Championship. The track has many unique touches. It runs alongside the island’s spectacular marina; it passes under the 5-star Yas Viceroy Abu Dhabi hotel and alongside a 60-metre sun tower. The exit of the pit lane even crosses under the circuit.
