Then, Carlos Sainz Jr nabbed 6th in the Formula One championship, a single point ahead of Pierre Gasly. Obviously, both drivers were boosted by unexpected podiums in Brazil, two weeks ago. Meanwhile, Alexander Albon was a further couple of points behind in 8th, and ahead of Daniel Ricciardo and Sergio Perez respectively.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2023 - Latest News, Winners, Qualifying, Circuits</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix took over the Brazilian GP?s spot on the Formula 1 calendar since its introduction. Following a provision calendar announcement in 2008, F1 drivers and teams got ready for their inaugural trip to the Yas Marina Circuit in 2009. Since then?except in 2011, 2012, and 2013?The Abu Dhabi GP has been the last race of the season. Yas Marina is, in every aspect, a modern-day track. Although it does nothing to rival the excitement of racing in Interlagos, it?s played a pretty good host to a few championship showdowns.</span>

[caption id="attachment_1338470" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-1338470 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2022-11-20T131442Z_241423399_UP1EIBK10SG73_RTRMADP_3_MOTOR-F1-ABUDHABI.jpg" alt="F1" width="1920" height="1194" /> Formula One F1 - Abu Dhabi Grand Prix - Yas Marina Circuit, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates - November 20, 2022 General view at the start of the race REUTERS/Aleksandra Szmigiel[/caption]

<span style="font-weight: 400">The inaugural race in 2009 became the first day-night race on the calendar. The following year saw the first champion-deciding race on the new circuit. Going into the race, Ferrari?s Fernando Alonso was in the championship lead, followed by Red Bull?s Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel. McLaren?s Lewis Hamilton was also in contention, but his chances seemed less likely. Vettel got pole position for the race and converted it into a race win. With Alonso managing only a P6, the German became the youngest championship winner.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The next title-deciding fight happened in 2016 between the Mercedes duo of Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg. As race day approached, Rosberg had a 12-point lead over Hamilton in the championship. Rosberg only needed a podium finish to win the championship, and that?s exactly what he did, despite some sly tactics employed by Hamilton. The Brit was in the lead with Rosberg in second, knowing fully well that if this continued, he?d lose the title. Hamilton started aching the field up, hoping the other drivers would catch Rosberg and challenge him for P2. That didn?t happen because Rosberg?s compatriot Vettel held his ground and brought the car home in P3.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">That became only the second season in Hamilton?s career where his teammate outperformed him. While Rosberg retired from F1 after the race, Hamilton kept his quest for title glory going. And it?s still on. Since then, the three-time champion has become a seven-time champion. Had it not been for things that happened in the most recent title showdown Abu Dhabi has seen, he could?ve been an eight-time champion.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The 2021 Abu Dhabi GP was a culmination of a season-long, explosive battle between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton. They entered the race equal on points. With around 10 laps to go, it seemed like Hamilton would clinch his eighth title. But a late Safety Car and a questionable procedure followed during the SC period gave Verstappen the chance to steal the title from the Brit. Verstappen didn?t need a second invitation and clinched his maiden championship.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Scheduled from 24th to 26th November, the Abu Dhabi GP is Round 23 on the calendar. Red Bull and Max Verstappen have already sealed the Constructors? and Drivers? Championship this season, but there may still be a lot to play for. The battles for P2 in both championships could be decided at Yas Marina, and so could the fight for P4 in the team standings.</span>

[caption id="attachment_1338463" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-1338463 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2022-11-20T143710Z_888989617_UP1EIBK14LWEC_RTRMADP_3_MOTOR-F1-ABUDHABI.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1174" /> Formula One F1 - Abu Dhabi Grand Prix - Yas Marina Circuit, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates - November 20, 2022 Red Bull's Max Verstappen celebrates after winning the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix REUTERS/Leonhard Foeger[/caption]

<span style="font-weight: 400">Last time out, Max Verstappen set the fastest lap in qualifying with a 1:23.824. He converted his pole to a win?a record 15th victory of the year, one he could break this season. Since 2015, the driver who qualified on pole has won the race. Considering the limited number of overtaking opportunities, qualifying is crucial in Abu Dhabi.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Apart from the F1 action, F1?s weekend at Yas Marina is set to be a party. Popstar Ava Max is set to light up the stage on Thursday, followed by Grammy-winning Dutch DJ and producer Ti?sto the same night. To cap off the weekend and the 2023 F1 season, legendary rock band Foo Fighters will turn Yas Marina into party central!</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Most Winners</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Since the first Abu Dhabi GP in 2009, it has made its way into the calendar every year. The organizers have also signed a contract with F1 to host the season-ending race until at least 2030. In the 14 editions of the race, there have only been six winners, the most successful of whom is Lewis Hamilton, with 5 victories. During his time at Red Bull, Sebastian Vettel won three of the five races at Yas Marina. Max Verstappen seems to be continuing Vettel?s Red Bull legacy, winning every edition since 2020.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Apart from these three repeat winners, Kimi Raikkonen (2012), Nico Rosberg (2015), and Valtteri Bottas (2017) have crossed the line in P1 in Abu Dhabi.</span>

<strong>History</strong>

The Formula One World Championship first started back in 1950. The very first F1 champion was Italy's Guiseppe Farina who raced for Alfa Romeo.

The sport has had 33 different champions in its history and a few of them are multiple championship winners. Currently, the driver with the most championships is <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/michael-schumacher/">Michael Schumacher</a> with 7 under his belt. However, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/mercedes">Mercedes</a> driver <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lewis-hamilton/">Lewis Hamilton</a> will be eager to overhaul that. Hamilton currently holds 6 World Championships and stands on the cusp of equalling Michael Schumacher's record at the end of the season.
