64: Yas Mercedes: 5 Things To Watch For In Abu Dhabi

[ad_1]

17 races in 6 months – that’s a stat Formula 1 will remember for the time to come. As for the 2020 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, there are two stats to remember – 6 pole positions and 6 wins for Mercedes. They have led 88% of all laps here! Basically, they have conquered the Yas Marina Circuit in the hybrid-turbo era. Mercedes have been so competitive and dominant in the 2020 Formula 1 season that they even won a race with the W10 (last year’s car) last weekend in Sakhir.

Also in this Pits to Podium (https://bit.ly/pitstopodium) segment, Soumil and Kunal discuss the battle for P3 in the Constructors’ Championship – who’s your money on? What’s peculiar about the Yas Mercedes Circuit? Why the FP1 session of the 2020 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will go down in memory. After all, the ‘Schumacher’ name returned to Formula 1. This race is also the ‘last’ for many drivers and brands in Formula 1 – look forward to their farewell. And of course, it’s far from our last episode of the year. Tune in!
