The Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2025 will be held on December 7, 2025 (race day) — with the weekend being December 5-7, 2025. As the season-finale of the Formula 1 calendar, it often plays a decisive role for championship outcomes, is a major global sporting and entertainment spectacle, and serves as a showcase for track, hospitality, and destination experiences.

The race is organised jointly by the local promoter in Abu Dhabi (via entities such as Abu Dhabi Motorsports Management LLC) in conjunction with the series rights-holder (Formula One Group) and relevant national tourism and motorsport authorities.

Where Will the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2025 Be Held?

The Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2025 will take place at the Yas Marina Circuit, one of the most iconic Formula 1 tracks in the Middle East. Known for its twilight start and night finish, the circuit winds through the futuristic artificial Yas Island, featuring a mix of high-speed straights, tight hairpins, and sections running beneath the Yas Hotel’s illuminated canopy. It remains a centerpiece of motorsport innovation and tourism appeal in the UAE.

A total of 10 Formula 1 teams—each fielding two drivers, making 20 participants in total—will compete in this race. These are the regular entrants of the 2025 FIA Formula One World Championship, including major names such as Red Bull Racing, Mercedes, Ferrari, McLaren, Aston Martin, and others.

While Formula 1 doesn’t feature a traditional “prize pool” like eSports or, say, golf tournaments, the financial rewards are significant and structured through the Formula One Management revenue distribution system. Teams receive payouts based on their performance in the Constructors’ Championship standings, with additional bonuses for heritage teams and special agreements. The total F1 prize fund for the 2025 season is estimated at over US$2.2 billion, distributed among the 10 teams at the season’s conclusion—meaning the Abu Dhabi GP can directly affect final payouts by influencing the championship order.

Which Teams Will Take Part in the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2025?
