Abu Dhabi GP 2022: How is the weather at Yas Marina Circuit ahead of F1 season finale?

The 2022 Abu Dhabi GP will be emotional for F1 fans. Four-time World Champion Sebastian Vettel will suit up for a race weekend one final time, and F1 will surely miss the presence of one of its most popular drivers. On top of that, it will also be the final race (for the time being) for one of the fan favorites, Daniel Ricciardo.

Max Verstappen has already secured the 2022 Drivers’ Championship Title and Ferrari has the Constructors’ Title in their bag. However, the battle for P2 heated up after an intense end to the Sao Paolo GP last week. Sergio Perez and Charles Leclerc head into the finale level on points. In the team’s standings, Mercedes will hope for a repeat of their Brazil heroics to snatch P2 away from Ferrari on Sunday.

 

The race on Sunday promises to be exciting, especially if Ferrari, Red Bull, as well as Mercedes, can get into the fight for the win. Fans can also rest easy knowing that there shouldn’t be any interruptions weather-wise at Yas Island over the weekend.
