Circuit Guide

The season finale at Yas Marina is F1's twilight signature: the race starts in daylight and ends under floodlights, with the marina and the LED-skinned hotel as the backdrop. The 2021 layout revisions turned a processional track into a genuine racer's circuit with long DRS zones and a banked hairpin. As the last round of the first new-regulations season, expect every championship position — and millions in prize money — to be decided here.

Watching from the US

The 2026 season ends with a Sunday morning race for US fans — one final early-ish start before the long winter break. Even if the title is sewn up, the midfield fight for constructors' positions is usually frantic, and it's your last live F1 until March 2027. Savor it.
