🇦🇪 Abu Dhabi, United Arab EmiratesPermanent circuit
Yas Marina Circuit.
Yas Marina combines long straights with slower technical sections beside the marina. The 2021 changes shortened and opened up parts of the lap, including the banked Turn 9. It has hosted Formula 1 since 2009 and is a familiar championship finale venue.

KEY SECTIONS
T5–6
Hairpin to the long straight
The Turn 5 exit sets up an extended acceleration phase before heavy braking. It is a natural sequence to follow in a battle.
T9
The banked left-hander
The sweeping corner replaced a slower sequence in the redesign. Watch how drivers use its width and banking.
T10–12
Braking while turning
The technical run near the hotel asks the driver to reduce speed while the car still carries lateral load.
Setup focus
The long straights and technical final sector reward different strengths. A car needs traction and predictable rotation as well as straight-line efficiency.
Racing focus
Watch the exits onto the two long straights. Consecutive braking opportunities can turn a single passing attempt into a multi-corner exchange.
