After arriving in Abu Dhabi pretty lateon Wednesday, I headed towards my friend's residence and decided to call it a night since I was pretty tired.

Next day marked the starting of the Formula 1 weekend and I was pretty excited for that. For those who do not know, a Formula 1 weekend starts off from Thursday and continues all the way till Sunday.

On Thursday, the Pitlane walk takes place where spectators get a chance to walk around the circuit and take a look at the garages of all the teams up close. There are driver autograph sessions on Thursday as well.

My most prised possession, the tickets to the Formula 1 event:



Formula 1 in Abu Dhabi takes place at the Yas Marina Circuit. Yas Marina Circuit is located on the Yas Island which is around 30 minutes away from Downtown, Abu Dhabi. The circuit is 5.5 km long and was designed by renowned architect Hermann Tilke. It's designed in such a way that it passes through the marina and Yas Viceroy Hotel.

Me and my friends arrived at the circuit in the afternoon for the Pitlane walk and proceeded towards the entrance. There were a lot of people and it was a pretty exciting feeling to get so close to all the team garages and the Formula 1 cars.



































After the Pitlane walk, I bid farewell to my friends for the day and came to my uncle's apartment. Views of Downtown, Abu Dhabi from the 14th floor:
