ABU DHABI

Dear Rui

Day/Night Race in Abu Dhabi!

The final race of the season will be a first for Formula One with the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on Sunday starting at 17:00hrs for the sport's first day/night race.
Taking place at the Yas Marina Circuit, the spectacular 5.554km track runs alongside Yas Island's new marina and the anti-clockwise circuit has many unique features including a pitlane exit which crosses under the circuit and part of the track passing under the Yas Marina Hotel.
Jenson visited the venue earlier in the year: "It's a fantastic feeling to be going into the final race having achieved my ambition of winning the Drivers' Championship and with the team having wrapped up the Constructors' Championship in Brazil. I had a short break in the Gulf region after Bahrain and went to have a look at the Yas Marina Circuit. Even then with the construction work was still underway, the facilities looked outstanding. It's always fun to try a new race track and I'm sure Abu Dhabi is going to host an exciting weekend."
Rubens is also looking forward to the challenge: "It's always good to race at a new venue and the Yas Marina Circuit looks extremely impressive. The layout of the circuit seems both fun and challenging and it will be quite impressive to start the race in daylight and to finish in evening conditions. The team has had a great season so far and we want to finish on a high with a strong performance this weekend."

Me parece que Barrichelo não foi bem ao final do 1º dia de treinos , ficando atrás de Vettel seu concorrente ao vice-campeonato . Vamos esperar como a BRAWN que seus carros andem bem amanhã e na corrida .
