A thrilling F1 season
finale topped off a champion weekend at YAS MARINA CIRCUIT. With record breaking ticket sell out at 60,000 the biggest ever
audience cheered Lewis Hamilton to victory as curtain fell on exhilarating
weekend packed with racing action and entertainment. The Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix podium prize ceremony, which saw Hamilton crowned 2014 Formula One Champion,
concluded three days of track action and spectacular off-track activities
enjoyed by fans across the newly-extended venue.
Throughout the Grand Prix
weekend, racing fans – including a record number from overseas - enjoyed a
blockbuster atmosphere, both in the grandstands and away from the track. The
final after-race concert, featuring British rock legends The Who, brought the
curtain down on a world-beating, non-stop program of entertainment. As always,
the F1 after-race concert series proved a huge success. It kicked off in style
on Thursday night, with a bill that included famous Middle Eastern artists such
as Tamer Hosny and Mohammed Assaf.
Friday was the turn of Dutch sensation Armin
Van Buuren, who dazzled the audience with his high-energy set. And on Saturday the
man of the moment Pharrell Williams treated the Du Arena audience to a
memorable show. Egyptian movie star Tamer Hosny, celebrity singer and award-winning
Lebanese actress Carole Samaha, Emirati singer Faiz Al Saeed, and Palestinian
Mohammed Assaf of ‘Arab Idol’ fame entertained race-goers at the Du Arena on 20th November.
“I would like to congratulate the new world
champion after what has been one of the most thrilling finales to a Formula 1
season in recent years,” said Al Tareq Al Ameri, CEO of Yas Marina Circuit.
Apart from the top
sporting drama, attendance was driven this year by an unbeatable range of
on-site activities to suit people of all ages.The five Oasis zones have been
packed at all times with race-goers enjoying a thrilling carnival of activities
including live music, theatre productions, gamezones, UAE heritage and other
exhibitions and numerous hospitality options. The Heritage Village in the North
Oasis area proved a popular attraction, with its lively mix of traditional
Emirati activities such as falconry, local cooking, handicrafts, and henna
painting. Motoring enthusiasts enjoyed a trip down memory lane in the West
Oasis’s classic cars exhibition and tested their skills at the “Pit-Stop
Challenge”. Yas Marina Circuit’s very own beach was also a big draw, as
visitors wishing to relax in the sunshine took to their sun-loungers.
The hub of activity was
the F1 Village, next to the Main Grandstand, where a non-stop line-up of music
and dance provided the backdrop to a vast array of entertainment options
including the F1 Gamezone and the Majlis Arabic Chill-Out area.Kids were able
to put their driving skills to the test at the Yas Kartzone, which was open
throughout the race weekend.
