The opening day of the 2025 Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix welcomed fans with the traditional F1 Pit Lane Walk, giving them a first look at teams preparing for the final race of the season.
Visitors at Yas Marina Circuit were able to watch mechanics and engineers working on the cars, with some catching brief glimpses of drivers.
As the 75th season reaches its final chapter, the championship arrives in Abu Dhabi with a three-way fight for the drivers’ title, following the dramatic post-race disqualifications of both McLarens in Las Vegas and Max Verstappen’s victory in Qatar.
This year’s weekend is expected to welcome one of the largest crowds to date, with fans from 105 countries descending on the UAE capital.
