F1 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix weather forecast - latest from Yas Marina Circuit

Formula 1 heads to the Yas Marina Circuit this weekend for the 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Whilst Max Verstappen wrapped up the drivers' championship at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, the constructors' battle is set to go down to the wire in Abu Dhabi with both McLaren and Ferrari still in contention for glory heading into the season finale.

Ferrari are now only 21 points behind McLaren in the standings, despite the Woking-based outfit holding the upper hand pace-wise at the Qatar Grand Prix on Sunday.

Elsewhere, Red Bull finds themselves out of the constructors' fight and unable to defend their crown despite Max Verstappen's victory in Qatar, with his team-mate Sergio Perez failing to score a single point across the weekend in Lusail.

This weekend's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will also mark Lewis Hamilton's last race with Mercedes ahead of his move to Ferrari, making it an even more exciting occasion.

Hamilton would love to end his career with the Silver Arrows on a high, but with Max Verstappen eyeing a 10th win of the season and it all to play for in the constructors' championship, the seven-time champion is likely to face tough competition under the lights at Yas Marina Circuit.

With that said, here is how the weather currently looks for this weekend's race.
