Abu Dhabi Grand Prix schedule 2024
- Grand Prix – Sunday 8th December | 1pm GMT / 8am ET
Abu Dhabi Grand Prix preview
Charles Leclerc is going to have to clock in one of the drives of his life if the 2024 season is to get the grandstand sendoff we'd been hoping for. The Ferrari man has closed the once-substantial gap to Lando Norris to only eight points, but there'll be an ocean between them on the starting grid. It's Lights Out for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix at 1pm GMT / 8am ET.
Norris is on pole, which admittedly doesn't tend to go well for him, but with Leclerc starting from the 19th slot due to a disappointing Qualifying session and a 10-place drop for exceeding his battery allowance, he couldn't have hoped for a wider margin for error.
And with Oscar Piastri sharing the front row, one place ahead of Carlos Sainz, McLaren have a hand and four fingers on their first constructors' title since 1998. The Ferrari drivers have to outscore their McLaren counterparts by at least 21 points in order to pull off the heist.
George Russell is directly behind Max Verstappen, which gives rise to the possibility of some brake-testing silliness, while Lewis Hamilton, on his 223rd and final Grand Prix for Mercedes, starts all the way back from 16th after a disastrous Qualifying session.

What are the best TV settings for F1?
Avoid your TV's 'Sport' and choose 'Filmmaker' or 'Cinema' mode. Why? Because less processing is better when it comes to F1 (as it is with most content), and the Filmmaker Mode is almost always the least-processed mode that a TV has. You can then use that as a base level for making further tweaks. If your TV doesn’t have a Filmmaker Mode, look for a mode labelled ‘Cinema’, ‘Movie’ or, in the case of Sony, ‘Custom’.
