Tickets continue to sell fast for the seven-time world champion’s final race with Mercedes-AMG Petronas ahead of the 2024 FORMULA 1 ETIHAD AIRWAYS ABU DHABI GRAND PRIX in December.
16day At the Abu Dhabi Formula 1 Etihad Grand Prix, Hamilton will begin his 11th and final year with championship-winning Mercedes before moving to Ferrari in 2025. The #AbuDhabiGP will also be Spanish driver Carlos Sainz’s final race for Italian powerhouse Scuderia Ferrari.
With 65% of the 170,000 spectators at the 2023 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix coming from overseas, race organisers are once again expecting a strong international fan base at the Yas Marina Circuit, following a 40% surge in visitors to the UAE capital last year. Spectators can now enjoy the Yas Island experience with exclusive access to the Yas Salam post-race concert, with two headline bands confirmed to perform at Etihad Park, with US pop-rock band Maroon 5 and British rock band Muse set to perform for F1’s growing and diverse fan base.

The 24-race season has already wowed fans, with Ferrari taking their first win or runner-up finish at the start of the season in Australia. Sainz has set a new record for wins, and earlier this year, Sainz’s successor was revealed. Hamilton shocked fans around the world when he announced his departure from the team where he had won six Drivers’ Championships, and the Tifosi are eagerly preparing to welcome the British driver after the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
