Lewis Hamilton 2011, 2014, 2016
Lewis Hamilton has the joint most wins around Yas Marina with three, the first of which came in very unlikely circumstances. When Sebastian Vettel qualified on pole, you’d be forgiven for thinking that the recently-crowned double world champion was going to walk away to yet another win. However, Seb had a very short and unlucky race, picking up a freak puncture on the first lap and being forced to retire with damage to his Red Bull's bodywork.
Hamilton inherited the lead and converted it to his first win in the UAE. 2014 saw him claim his second world title, in what has been F1's only double points race (a rule that we'll hopefully never see make a return).
Felipe Massa threatened in the late stages, but Hamilton held the Williams driver behind. 2016 was a brilliant tactical drive, but Lewis wouldn't win the title that year, as, despite his best efforts, Rosberg finished second. A very hollow victory, but they all count.
