Organisers of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix want next year’s Formula 1 calendar changed so that their event will be the final race of the season.
The provisional list has Brazil hosting the season finale and Abu Dhabi staging the penultimate race, but Yas Marina circuit chief executive Richard Cregan hopes the line up can be switched before the calendar is ratified at the World Motorsport Council meeting today (Dec 11).
“I think the final slot for us is very important in terms of the grand prix as an overall event,” he told Reuters.
“With the destination we have in Abu Dhabi, it means that people will hopefully come there to the last event at the end of the season and then take some holiday or whatever with their families. It would be good for us to have that.
“We feel that we deserve to be last race and I’m sure they [Brazil] feel they deserve to be last.
“We’ll have to wait and see. I think it’s a logistics issue in terms of how you are moving the teams and freight around the world.”
