The closing race of the compelling season will take place in Abu Dhabi on Sunday. The final race of 2021 in Formula 1 will take place on a circuit that has been significantly modified. Of the original 21 corners that the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi had when it was built in 2009, 16 remain. The purpose of those adjustments: more speed, more overtaking opportunities and more wheel-to-wheel combat.
The changes mean that Max Verstappen has little to hold on to his result from last year. The Dutchman then won the last race quite dominantly, but that was on the old circuit. Moreover, the tension was already gone from the championship, because Lewis Hamilton had already taken the title.
