2011 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is the 18th Formula 1 racing event of the year with just 1 more remaining before the season comes to a close. It is on Nov 13, 2011 and the race takes place at the Yas Marina Circuit. This race track is probably one of the more fascinating tracks as it has a massive hotel right in the centre of the action. The track was designed by Hermann Tilke and in the past it has been criticized by drivers as being difficult to pass. Rumors suggest the track has been slightly modified to allow for more driver skill to make the race a more exciting one.
Favorites to win this race will still be Sebastian Vettel. The star drivers on the season are really just Vettel, Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button who have virtually won most of the races themselves this season.
Practise for the event is on November 11to to 12th while the qualifying takes place November 12th with the race taking place November 13th at 17:00 local time.
