The season finale of Formula 1 in Abu Dhabi will take place on 4–7 December 2025, and AUTO.AE will be there. Here is our detailed guide on what to expect at the track and around Yas Island.

🎶 Who’s Performing — Yasalam After-Race Concerts

One of the biggest traditions of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is the nightly concerts featuring top global artists. The 2025 lineup is incredibly strong: • December 4 (Thursday) — Benson Boone • December 5 (Friday) — Post Malone + Elyanna • December 6 (Saturday) — Metallica • December 7 (Sunday) — Katy Perry

All concerts take place at Etihad Park in the evening. Access is included with GP tickets.

🏁 Track Action Schedule

Thursday — Warm-Up Day • Ticket and wristband collection • Pit Lane Walk — a rare chance to walk past the team garages up close • Fan zones open with merch, activities, and entertainment

Friday — Free Practice Day • Support series sessions • Free Practice 1 & 2 for Formula 1 • Driver interviews, autograph sessions, fan-zone activities

Saturday — Qualifying Day • More sessions from support series • Free Practice 3 • Formula 1 Qualifying — sets the starting grid • Evening concert: Metallica

💡 Tips from AUTO.AE • Arrive early — queues on Saturday and Sunday are significant. • Fan zones are a must: simulators, pit-stop challenges, merch, autograph sessions. • If meeting friends, plan between sessions — easiest for coordination. • After the race, stay for the concert — traffic is extremely heavy during exit hours.

AUTO.AE will be at Yas Marina. If you’re attending Formula 1 — see you there! 🚀🇦🇪
