Abu Dhabi Grand Prix - 13th and 14th of November 2010

The final race of the F1 calendar was one-hour down the road in Abu Dhabi. We jumped in a cab on Saturday for qualifying at the Yas Island circuit, a beautiful spot next to the marina and with the Yas Marina Hotel in the background. It's staged at sunset, so the action starts in the daylight and finishes under lights.
One the unique features of F1 in Abu Dhabi are the concerts that take place after the racing. On Saturday it was Linkin Park.
Back on Sunday for the support races and the main event itself. A ridiculous decision by the Ferrari boys left Wazza distraught, but it was still a great experience.
The weekend was capped off by Prince in concert afterwards, we weren't expecting much but were surprised at how good he was as a live performer. Unfortunately we didn't stay until the very end as we had an early morning flight to Jordan the following day....
