Yas Marina Circuit and the exciting race of 2021

The circuit underwent renovations for the 2021 GP and with the change it was around 12 seconds faster compared to what it was before. The track underwent important changes in three different sectors and this made it possible for there to be more overtaking, bringing more excitement during the race.

The last stage of the season begins during daylight and ends after sunset.

One of the most exciting disputes for the F1 World Title took place on this track. With excitement from start to finish, the duo Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton staged one of the greatest rivalries in history. On that occasion, Max lost the lead at the start to the Brit and the two came into contact with tires, but Lewis, when leaving the escape area, managed to maintain his position and stay ahead. Lewis led 57 of the 58 laps, but the introduction of a safety car completely changed history when he entered lap 54. In a restart, Max, who had changed tires, overtook the Brit on the last lap, thus winning his first World Title.
