This weekend’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix marks the final race of the 2024 F1 season. This final contest, over 58 laps at the 5.28-kilometer Yas Marina Circuit on Yas Island in the United Arab Emirates, takes place on Sunday.
The weekend’s race will determine the winner of the Constructors’ Championship, a title that’s still up for grabs. McLaren leads Ferrari by just 21 points heading into the race; 25 points are at stake in Abu Dhabi, which means it’s truly anyone’s race. You can catch the full weekend of racing action starting with practices on Friday and a qualifier on Saturday, which you can catch across several channels, including ESPN2 and ESPNU, and streaming on ESPN+.
