The Abu Dhabi F1 Grand Prix is the last Asian race of the
2012 season, which will be held at the Yas Marina circuit on Sunday, November 4.
The 2012 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is unique because it takes place during the
twilight period when there is considerable change in the light. This aspect has
been most commented upon during the pre-race press conference.
Red Bull Drivers On Abu Dhabi F1
Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull is entering the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix with four
straight wins in a row. He said, "Starting at dusk and finishing in the dark
makes it something unique and impressive." Vettel has very fond memories of the
circuit. He won the race in 2009. In 2010 his victory at Abu Dhabi sealed his
first world championship.
Vettel is hoping for a similar result this season. All his wins this season
have come on Asian racetracks and he will be looking to sign off the Asian part
of the season in style. Vettel made special mention of the pit lane exit that
goes through a tunnel to the other side of the track.
Vettel's Red Bull team mate, Mark Webber also found the twilight element to
his liking, with the race starting in the day and finishing at night. He
appreciated the world class facilities at the Yas Marina track. He summed up his
comments by saying, "The race has a great atmosphere and it looks good on TV for
the fans at home. It's a phenomenal spectacle and I'm looking forward to racing
there."
