The 2020 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix (officially known as the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2020) was a Formula One motor race held on 13 December 2020 at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The race was the seventeenth and final race of the 2020 Formula One World Championship. Red Bull driver Max Verstappen won the race and led every lap from pole position, followed by Mercedes drivers Valtteri Bottas and Lewis Hamilton who completed the podium. Red Bull Racing got their first victory at Yas Marina in seven years. McLaren secured third place in the Constructors' Championship which saw them score their highest finish in the Constructors' Championship since 2012. This also meant that for the first time since 2015, a team other than Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull finished in the top three in the Constructors' Championship. Background Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic The opening rounds of the championship were heavily affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Several Grands Prix were cancelled or postponed after the aborted opening round in Australia, prompting the FIA to draft a new calendar. The Bahrain Grand Prix was moved to the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix's original date, delaying the race by two weeks. Due to a surge of COVID-19 cases in the country, organisers announced that the Grand Prix would take place behind closed doors. Entrants The drivers and teams were the same as the pre-season entry list with the only exception being Romain Grosjean, who was replaced by Pietro Fittipaldi at the Sakhir Grand Prix. Mick Schumacher drove for Haas in the first practice session, in place of Kevin Magnussen, while Robert Kubica drove for Alfa Romeo Racing, in place of Antonio Giovinazzi. Robert Shwartzman, who competed in Formula 2, was also due to appear in the first practice session, driving for Haas. However, he did not appear on the entry list. Lewis Hamilton was confirmed as an entrant shortly before the race, having tested negative for the coronavirus, which had caused him to miss the previous round in Sakhir, where Williams driver George Russell took his place. This was the final race as Racing Point for the Silverstone-based team and as Renault for the Enstone-based team, as they were rebranded as Aston Martin and Alpine, respectively, for . The race also marked the 100th Grand Prix start for Haas and the 400th for Renault.
