The first Qatar F1 Grand Prix brought us mega performances from the likes of Lewis Hamilton, who dominated qualifying and the race, and Fernando Alonso, who was on the F1 podium for the first time in seven years. Eight points now separate the two title contenders. Max Verstappen is still in the lead after successfully battling his way to P2 in Qatar after starting from P7, while Hamilton took the win comfortably from pole position.
The intense race with daring overtaking maneuvers and pit strategies formed a worthy end to the last triple header of the 2021 season.
In two weeks, the F1 will drive to a new track for the second time in a row. The Saudi Arabia Grand Prix will be held on the streets of Jeddah from December 3rd to 5th. The high-speed Jeddah Corniche Circuit will give us an unpredictable race before the series heads to Abu Dhabi for the season finale.
Development of the F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix for 2021
Despite hosting processional races, the infamous Yas Marina Circuit has also delivered some spectacular finals. This year the track went through a few modifications to spice up the race.

The restructuring of the route should offer more overtaking opportunities and increase the possibility of a dramatic end to the season. The battle for the drivers ‘and constructors’ championships is harder than ever. With two races remaining, Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen are only eight points apart, while Red Bull F1 Mercedes snaps on their heels, just five points behind.
We’ll likely see some great battles between outgoing Mercedes driver Valtteri Bottas and Red Bull F1’s Sergio Perez for third place overall. The two are separated by 13 points, Botta’s advantage.

All of these equations will be further reduced over the next two races as F1’s three-race swing in the Middle East weakens.
