The first city of Abu Dhabi is a burgeoning municipality and serves as the capital of the seven states which together constitute the United Arab Emirates. Yas Island, with its marina, yacht club, Ferrari World theme park and gleaming new race track, lies just off the mainland, a short drive from the downtown area. The Emiratis have spent an unprecedented amount of money to give F1 its most spectacular backdrop. With a harbour section, an under-grandstand run-off area to keep the spectators as close as possible to the action, a hotel straddling the track and cars rejoining the circuit from the pits via a tunnel, the Abu Dhabi GP is an utterly unique experience. For the first time in F1 history, four drivers came to the final round in 2010 with a shot at the title. Alonso's eight point advantage made him the favourite but the myriad permutations dictated that race leader Vettel was oblivious to his fate even as he took the chequered flag. Over the radio, Rocky had been gabbling away to him for the last ten laps. "Why is my engineer so bloody nervous?" mused Sebastian. "Then he said we had won the World Championship!" And so the German mounted Abu Dhabi's podium as the sport's youngest ever champion, flanked by Lewis and Jenson, his two immediate predecessors. |
