F1 2009 Round 17 - Eithad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Yas Marina
Hi folks. It's been ages since I've done one of these introduction threads, so apologies if it's rubbish. But in my defence, obviously there aren't many statistics since it's a new Grand Prix! I hope I'm not rocking anybody's boat by creating this thread, but I didn't see one so I thought I'd lend a hand. Anyway, moving on...
Both championships may have already been decided, but there is still plenty at stake as the 2009 Formula One season reaches its climax at the new Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi. Rubens Barrichello and Sebastian Vettel are separated by only two points in the battle for second place in the Drivers Championship, while in the Constructors Championship McLaren and Ferrari have just one point between them in the battle for third. Even before the cars started arriving in Abu Dhabi, the venue has received mixed opinons; mainly concering the limited run-off areas, the starting time, and of course the increasingly infamous pit lane exit tunnel. With only a few hours of practice at this new venue between now and Qualifying, how will the grid shape up for F1's first ever twilight race? The action gets underway at 5:00pm local time on Sunday. Once again Toyota are without Timo Glock, so following his slightly controversial debut in Brazil, Kamui Kobayashi fills the vacant seat. Finally, I think I should give an honourable mention to Giancarlo Fisichella. After thirteen seasons and three race victories in Formula One, it seems likely that this will be his final Grand Prix. Good luck Giancarlo! Formula One 2009 - Round 17 - Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Yas Marina Circuit F1 World Drivers Championship Standings
