They were joined at the showpiece event by Bahrain's Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad, also the country's Prime Minister.
They were treated to spectacular entertainment on the track and up in the skies, as an eye-catching fly-past took place.
The sky was filled with streaks of red, white, green and black as Al Fursan aerial display team roared above the Yas Marina Circuit in the UAE capital in their Aermacchi MB-339A jets.
Dutch star Max Verstappen clinched his first drivers' championship with a remarkable last-lap victory over Britain's Lewis Hamilton, who was aiming to become the first man to secure eight world titles.

The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix returned to maximum capacity this year after being disrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic last year.
