Description

The 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix (officially known as the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2025) was a Formula One motor race that was held on 7 December 2025 at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. It was the twenty-fourth and final race of the 2025 Formula One World Championship.

The Grand Prix was the first World Drivers' Championship–deciding final round since 2021, and the first with more than two contenders since 2010. Lando Norris led the championship with 408 points, ahead of Max Verstappen with 396 points, and teammate Oscar Piastri with 392 points. The three drivers entered the round with an opportunity to win the World Drivers' Championship. Verstappen converted his pole position to a victory, ahead of Piastri and Norris. Third place was enough for Norris to become World Champion, ending the season two points ahead of Verstappen and 13 ahead of Piastri.

Background
The event was held at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi for the 17th time in the circuit's history, across the weekend of 5–7 December. The Grand Prix was the twenty-fourth and final race of the 2025 Formula One World Championship and the 17th running of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

This was the last Grand Prix to utilise the power unit configuration introduced in 2014. A revised configuration without the Motor Generator Unit-Heat (MGU-H), but with a higher power output from the Motor Generator Unit-Kinetic (MGU-K), will be introduced for 2026. The event marked the final race of the ground-effect generation of cars introduced in 2022, and the last of the drag reduction system (DRS) introduced as an overtaking aid in 2011, as cars with active aerodynamics and moveable wings will be introduced in 2026. This race marked Honda's last race as a power unit supplier to Red Bull and Racing Bulls, with the company exclusively supplying Aston Martin in 2026. It was also Renault's final race as an engine supplier for its team Alpine, with the manufacturer planning to discontinue engine production post-2025; as such Alpine will become a customer of Mercedes engines from 2026.
