This year’s Formula 1 in Abu Dhabi will signal the end for Lewis Hamilton’s association with Mercedes
The countdown to the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2024 is well and truly on and tickets are selling fast for an event which will see seven-time winner Lewis Hamilton part ways with Mercedes.
The 16th edition of the event will see Hamilton cap his 11th and final year with the championship-winning team Mercedes before he switches to Ferrari for 2025.
The #AbuDhabiGP will also mark Spanish driver Carlos Sainz’s final race with Italian powerhouse, Scuderia Ferrari.
With 65 per cent of the 170,000 fans that attended the 2023 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix coming from overseas, event organisers are once more expecting an influx of international fans at Yas Marina Circuit following a 40 per cent surge in travellers to the UAE capital last year.
Attendees now can maximise their experience at Yas Island with exclusive access to the Yasalam After-Race Concerts with two headline acts already confirmed to perform at Etihad Park as US pop rock band Maroon 5 and British rock group Muse get set to entertain Formula 1’s ever-evolving, diverse fanbase.

The announcement of Hamilton’s departure from the team with which he secured six Drivers’ Championships stunned fans globally, while the Tifosi are eagerly preparing to welcome the British driver following the Abu Dhabi GP.
