Abu Dhabi returns to centre stage as three-way F1 title showdown looms

1 Min Read

Abu Dhabi will host a rare three-way Formula One title decider this weekend, featuring Lando Norris, Max Verstappen and Oscar Piastri, mirroring the drama last seen at Yas Marina Circuit in 2010. That season ended with four drivers in contention, culminating in Sebastian Vettel securing his first championship after Ferrari’s strategic miscalculation left Fernando Alonso trapped in traffic.

This year’s finale, concluding a record 24-race campaign, again places enormous pressure on team strategy. With margins tight and the championship undecided, even minor errors could shape the final outcome. Fans and analysts say the parallels to 2010 underline how Yas Marina has become one of F1’s most defining battlegrounds for championship glory.
