The 2018 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix (formally known as the Formula 1 2018 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix) is a Formula One motor race scheduled to be held on 25 November 2018 at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The race is due to be the final round of the 2018 season and marks the tenth running of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and the tenth time that the race has been run as a World Championship event since the inaugural season in 1950.
Background
McLaren announced they would be using a special one-off livery to celebrate the last race of Fernando Alonso. This was the first time McLaren had run a special livery since the 1986 Portuguese Grand Prix. Lewis Hamilton, whose title defense was secured at the Mexican Grand Prix was allowed to display the number 1 on his car's nose instead of his usual 44. However, the 44 remained the number with which he was officially entered in the Grand Prix. Renault has not withdrawn from the race, despite the arrest of Carlos Ghosn in Japan on 19 November 2018.
