The Abu Dhabi GP is scheduled to take place from November 18 to November 20 – let us take a look at which team has the most wins at the Yas Marina Circuit
F1 action moves from Brazil to Abu Dhabi this weekend for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix at the Yas Marina circuit. This is the final race of the season and is scheduled to take place from November 18-20. The drivers’ and Constructors’ titles have already been decided but there’s still a lot at stake as we head out to the Middle East!
Mercedes are the most successful team in the Abu Dhabi GP’s brief history, having registered six wins at the Yas Marina circuit. Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton is the most successful driver in the history of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, having won a record five races at this circuit. Max Verstappen’s lap timing of 1:26.103, while driving a Red Bull RB16B in the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is the official race lap record at this GP.
Mercedes won six consecutive races at the Abu Dhabi GP from 2014-2019. However, in the last two editions – 2020 and 2021, they have been eclipsed by Red Bull. Red Bull won the inaugural edition in 2009 and have five race wins to their name at this GP till date.
Red Bull continues to dominate the drivers’ championship standings despite failing to register a podium finish in Brazil. Verstappen has already secured his second World Championship title and leads the standings with 429 points followed by team-mate Sergio Perez, who occupies the joint second spot with 290 points along with Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc. George Russell, Carlos Sainz, and Lewis Hamilton occupy the other top six spots.
Red Bull have also sealed the Constructors’ championship title and are miles ahead of the chasing pack with 719 points. Ferrari are significantly behind in second place with 524 points. Mercedes are further behind – they occupy third place, having earned 505 points.
