Below are the best tips to select the your Race Experience during the Abu Dhabi 2025 FORMULA 1 Grand Prix.
The North Grandstand offers a view of turns 3-5 and the first straight (back straight). These seats are located near Ferrari World and the daily evening concerts. From the North Grandstand you have a nice view of one of the slowest corners on this rather fast circuit. Here, Max Verstappen passed Lewis Hamilton for the 2021 World Championship.
The South Grandstand is a great choice to see on-track action. The South Grandstand is located in the braking zone of Turn 9 and offers an excellent panoramic view of the 9 to 11 corner combination, as well as the spectacular Marina and the Yas W Hotel. Because the South Grandstand is located at the end of the DRS sector, this is the ideal place to witness drivers overtaking each other.
The Marina Grandstand provides a panoramic view of the second half of the circuit. You have a direct view of the cars on the straight between turns 8-9. You can also follow the action in the Marina section between turns 12-15. The garages for support races (such as F2) are located under this grandstand.
The West Grandstand offers excellent value for money. Tickets for this popular grandstand, which is located at the end of the long straight before Turn 6, sell out quickly. It’s a great place to overtake and unique in the sense that the run-off area is partially below the grandstand! Most seats also have a good view of the last two corners of the track. When your seated at the extension of the straight, drivers might even go underneath you when they outbreak themselves with the only run-off area underneath a Grandstand anywhere in the world.
The Main Grandstand is ideal for those who want to see the start and end of the race and keep up to date with the action in the pits. If this isn’t that important to you, opt for a cheaper grandstand where you can see more on-track action.
General Admission, also called Abu Dhabi Hill, gives access to the General Admission areas as indicated on the circuit image (General Admission). Due to a lot of sun (and no shade), the relatively high entrance fee and the limited view of the track, we generally do not recommend these tickets. If it fits within your budget, a grandstand seat is well worth the investment.
Unfortunately, child tickets are not available for this circuit. All children need their own (adult) ticket and must be accompanied by an adult.
