Tickets for 2025 Abu Dhabi F1 Grand Prix go on sale
Formula One has started preparations for the new season, which marks the series' 75th anniversary, and fans have an opportunity to book their seats for the finish line with Ethara, the organisers of the Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, launching ticket sales for the 2025 race. Following a spectacular 10-team season launch in front of 15,000 fans in London on Tuesday, teams will now turn their attention to pre-season testing in Bahrain next week. The first race of the season is in Australia on March 16. Fans can now grab their tickets for what should be another exciting finish at the Yas Marina Circuit from December 5-7. The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix has hosted many high-stakes title-deciding races and this year could bring in more thrills and surprises. Following McLaren's historic 2024 constructors' title victory at Yas Marina Circuit in December, anticipation is building for what could be another decisive showdown in 2025. The season finale of the historic 75th anniversary of F1 will take place as part of the 17th edition of the Abu Dhabi GP weekend. Fans can now secure their tickets to the region's biggest event weekend, with organisers confirming a variety of highly sought-after experiences are now available for purchase. Weekend ticket holders can enjoy exclusive access to top attractions across Yas Island and Abu Dhabi including Ferrari World, Yas Waterworld, Warner Bros. World, SeaWorld Yas Island, and cultural landmarks such as Qasr Al Watan and Louvre Abu Dhabi. Access will be included for weekend ticket holders as part of the event offering fans the opportunity to explore landmarks across the emirate. Fans can also choose from an expanded selection of ticket options, including general admission, grandstands, and luxury hospitality experiences. Popular fan zones such as Abu Dhabi Hill, and the North and West Straight Grandstands return, offering panoramic views of Yas Marina Circuit's impressive 5.281km track. The 17th edition of the Abu Dhabi GP also welcomes back an array of luxury experiences, with globally renowned restaurant brands and exclusive trackside views. Building on the incredible 2024 lineup featuring superstar musicians Eminem and Maroon 5 and following record-breaking attendance of 110,000 at Etihad Park across the race weekend, organisers said this year promises even more fun and entertainment. The action on the track should be equally exciting, with seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton getting ready for a new chapter with Ferrari. Hamilton, who won six of his seven drivers' championships during a 12-year run with Mercedes, changed teams in the biggest move of the F1 offseason. Red Bull's Max Verstappen will once again be the main man after he clinched the F1 world championship for the fourth time, and fourth year in a row in the previous season. The Dutchman became just the fifth driver in Formula One history to achieve that feat. If he holds on to his crown in 2025, Verstappen will join an even more exclusive club by drawing level with Michael Schumacher's record of five championships in a row. But while Verstappen eventually won the 2024 title by 63 points from Lando Norris, it was Norris' McLaren team who deprived Red Bull of a hat-trick of constructors' championships.

Verstappen needs to stay out of trouble at Canadian Grand Prix
Max Verstappen will have to keep out of trouble as he chases an unprecedented fourth Canadian Grand Prix win in a row this weekend, with only a penalty point between the Formula One champion and a race ban. The Red Bull driver has won for the last three years in Montreal, the last time after starting alongside Mercedes' pole-sitter George Russell -- the same rival he clashed with two weekends ago -- in a qualifying draw. How Verstappen will respond is an open question but others are sure to want to take whatever advantage they can of the situation at a track famed also for changeable weather. "He mustn't do anything wrong over the next two race weekends, and of course he will be told not to do anything rash," Red Bull motorsport consultant Helmut Marko wrote in a column for post-Spain. "It would be a catastrophe if he couldn't start in Austria (the race after Canada)." While McLaren, with Oscar Piastri leading Lando Norris by 10 points after nine of 24 races, will be the team to beat again, Mercedes will fancy their chances in the season's second race in North America. "It's a track where we've tended to find our feet relatively well in the past," said Mercedes technical director James Allison. "So I'm looking forward to it. "We've got one or two new bits to take with us and we'll see how we get on." Mercedes have not won since Las Vegas last November, with Russell's second place in Bahrain in April the best they have managed so far. McLaren have won seven of nine but last triumphed in Canada with Lewis Hamilton in 2012, although historically they have won more times (13) than any team there. The battle between Piastri and Norris could be about to heat up. Ferrari, now up to second in the constructors' standings, last won with Sebastian Vettel in 2018 at a track named after their late local great Gilles Villeneuve. "McLaren is still ahead, but we're closing the gap step-by-step," said team boss Fred Vasseur. The circuit holds fond memories for Ferrari's seven-times world champion Hamilton, who took his first career F1 victory there in 2007 and shares with Michael Schumacher the record of seven wins in Canada. Hamilton was down after Spain, where he finished only sixth and was overtaken by Sauber's Nico Hulkenberg, and needs a morale booster. Aston Martin's Lance Stroll is the only Canadian driver but missed the race in Spain due to hand and wrist pain. The team have yet to confirm his fitness but expect him to be back for the home crowd. US-owned Haas will be celebrating their 200th start with a retro grey livery similar to the one they started out with in 2016. "From nothing to 200 races is significant because not many new teams survive more than two seasons, and they disappear without scoring a single point," said principal Ayao Komatsu. "Our aim is high, we want to be at the front of the midfield, and there's so much going on at this team right now. For our 200th race, I really hope we can celebrate with points."
