Verstappen took the Abu Dhabi GP to the end of F1: I lived the best

The 2022 season of the Formula 1 World Championship ended at the Yas Marina circuit, with a new victory for the Dutchman reaching 15 on the year.

The Formula 1 closed his season 2022 along with the career of Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, develop at the Yas Marina circuit, taken by pilot Max Verstappen. So ends an unparalleled year for Red Bull, which retains the constructors’ championship, and the Dutchman reaffirmed what he achieved last year and became a two-time champion.

Along with this, Checo Pérez, with runner-up in his hand, was left empty-handed after finishing third, behind Charles Leclerc. The Mexican was unfortunate that on lap 34, 24 from the end, Red Bull hastily decided to put him in the pits, instead of waiting for what Ferrari did to Leclerc and copy him.

This is the end of the Guadalajara pilot. Traffic is unpredictable and so is the possible fall of tires for Ferrari with a deposit that has lost weight, which is less than expected. In the end, he doubled himself and was a lap short of passing his rival.

Sebastian Vettel, four-time world champion, also said goodbye to the racefollowing a stellar 15-year career scoring a point for Aston Martin by finishing tenth, although he and his teammate Lance Stroll were unable to prevent Alfa Romeo from overtaking the team in sixth in constructors’ championship.

What is the Yas Marina Circuit, where the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is ​​held?

Changes were made to the Yas Marina Circuit last year: two curves at the end of the first sector are omitted; the same thing happened at the start of the last sector. After two long back straights, the familiar switchback with its 90 degree bend is gone.

In exchange, a left-hand curve was created -the new curve 9- characterized by strong braking and fluid traction output reminiscent of variants of the past, although bearing the stamp of German engineer Hermann Tilke.

Due to these two important changes, the number of Grand Prix laps was extended to 58 laps, keeping the race distance of 306.183 kilometers. The changes mean, in turn, that the circuit now has a shorter route: 5,281 km. Also, they go from having 21 curves to 16.
