The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix hosted its inaugural Formula One race in 2009 and featured on the Formula One calendar since then. The day-night race makes winning at the Yas Marina Circuit a real challenge; however, a couple of drivers have managed the art of driving under these difficult conditions to claim three wins each. Interestingly, both these drivers occupy the top-two places on the drivers' championship table.

Driving for the Red Bull, Sebastian Vettel won the inaugural Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in 2009. A win in the 2010 race ensured that he is the only driver to record consecutive race wins at this venue till date. After a brief hiatus of two years, the German driver returned to the top step of the podium during the 2013 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

His nemesis Lewis Hamilton's first win came in 2011 while driving for McLaren. His next win at this spectacular venue came in 2014 with the Silver Arrows. Mercedes have won every race at this track since then. After a win at the 2016 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, the Briton would be hoping to return to winning ways in this year's race.
