Abu Dhabi GP: Hamilton, Verstappen and other winners at Yas Marina Circuit - in pictures


  • English
  • Arabic

This Sunday sees the 2021 Formula One season reach a nerve-racking finale with the Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Title rivals Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen go head-to-head at the Yas Marina Circuit with the pair level on points at the top of the drivers' championship.

Whoever finishes ahead in the race will be be crowned champion. If neither manages to win a point, then Verstappen takes the honours by virtue of having more wins than the Briton (9-8).

This will be the 13th time Abu Dhabi has hosted a Grand Prix with Sebastian Vettel winning the inaugural race in 2009 and Verstappen taking the honours last time out.

In the gallery above, we take a look at who has finished on the podium in every race. To view the next image, click on the arrows or swipe if on a mobile device.

Know your Camel lingo

The bairaq is a competition for the best herd of 50 camels, named for the banner its winner takes home

Namoos - a word of congratulations reserved for falconry competitions, camel races and camel pageants. It best translates as 'the pride of victory' - and for competitors, it is priceless

Asayel camels - sleek, short-haired hound-like racers

Majahim - chocolate-brown camels that can grow to weigh two tonnes. They were only valued for milk until camel pageantry took off in the 1990s

Millions Street - the thoroughfare where camels are led and where white 4x4s throng throughout the festival
