What makes the place even more remarkable is that the whole thing, including the hotel, was built in just 1 year and 18 months! We took a look around and did a lap in a bus.

Another interesting fact about the track is that the winners of the F1 race do not, in fact, spray the crowd with champagne from the podium. It is in fact sprite, sprayed from a fake champagne bottle.

The Sporting Blog visited the famous track, back in 2017, and had quite the time. Please feel free to look around our photographs of the Yas Marina Circuit.
