Circuit · Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
Yas Marina Circuit
Has hosted the season finale in all but one of its years. The 2021 finish here — a safety-car restart applied contrary to the regulations — led to the removal of the race director and a restructuring of race control.

Every layout raced here 2 in the timeline, 2 drawn
The outline is F1DB’s, for every layout; the trace is OpenStreetMap’s, where it exists. Each one is fitted to its own box, so these are not to scale: a longer layout is not drawn larger, and none of them carries a direction, a position or a start line. The drawing that opens the page is the latest layout raced or on the calendar here, not the longest. The length listed with each layout is this register’s, from its own sources; the figures under its drawing are F1DB’s, and at some circuits the two disagree.
