Track modifications ahead of the 2021 race, shortening the lap slightly to 5.28 km, have only added to its excitement. Other highlights include the tricky run through turns 10 and 11 into 12, which forces the drivers to brake hard with bags of lateral load still on the car.
The track is dominated by its 1.2 km straight between turns 5 and 6 which, with slow-speed corners marking its beginning and end, makes it a honeypot for overtaking moves. The current turns 4 5, and 6 are to be redesigned along with turns 11, 12 and 13, also being reconfigured, ready for the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.Ī perfectly made up stewardess of the main sponsor Etihad Airlines at Abu Dhabi in 2011. Additionally, one of the run-off areas runs underneath the West grandstand. It also houses a team building behind the pit building, Media Center, Dragster Track and VIP Tower. The circuit has five grandstand areas (Main Grandstand, West Grandstand, North Grandstand, South Grandstand and Marina Grandstand) and part of its pit lane exit runs underneath the track.

The circuit has sixteen corners and several straights and passes by the marina and through the Yas Hotel Abu Dhabi, designed by New York-based architects Hani Rashid and Lise Anne Couture of Asymptote Architecture with a facade lighting design by Rogier van der Heide. The diggers rolled into what would become the Yas Marina Circuit in May 2007, with the project completed by October 2009. In 2006, plans were announced to develop Yas Island into a new tourist destination, with a major part of the plans centring around a 5.5 km race track. Yas Marina was the second of four Formula One tracks in the Middle East, with the first being in Bahrain and subsequent tracks in Qatar and Saudi Arabia. The circuit is situated on Yas Island, a headland that was cut off from the mainland by a canal, located about 30 minutes east of the capital of the UAE, Abu Dhabi.
