The 2024 Formula 1 season comes to a close this weekend, with the final taking place in Abu Dhabi. What is the weather like in the desert emirate and what are the routes that advertise in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
The record breaking season of Formula 1 is coming to an end!
With 24 race weekends, ie 24 GPs and six sprints, the longest Formula 1 season of all time ends this weekend.
The year-end race will be held in Abu Dhabi. Later there is another test on Tuesday which many drivers are already driving for their new teams for 2025.
The weather remains calm all week – and as you can imagine for a race in the desert: clear skies, sunshine and temperatures up to 27 degrees. Even at night the temperature does not drop below 21 or 22 degrees.
In Germany, Sky broadcasts, in Austria it is the turn of ORF, ServusTV shows live. In Switzerland, SRFzwei will be on air due to qualifying. We’ve rounded up the full TV schedule for you:
