The 21st and last race of the Formula 1 World Championship is scheduled for November 29th to December 1st at Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi. The track is on the man-made island of the same name, next to Ferrari World, in the area north-west of the capital of the United Arab Emirates. Even though there are 21 corners, the drivers only use their brakes 11 times each lap.Only the city track in Singapore has more braking points: 15.The brakes are used for a total of almost 18.5 seconds each lap, which equals 17 minutes over the course of the whole race, 19% of the GP. The average peak deceleration per lap is 3.7 G, but taking into account just the first 11 corners, the average exceeds 4.6 G, a figure never approached in the remaining turns.The energy dissipated during braking in the whole GP from each single-seater is 242 kWh, which is quite similar to the Hungarian GP. From the starting line to the checkered flag, each driver exerts a total load of 53.5 tons on the brake pedal.On the single lap though, the load exceeds 970 kg.
Charles Leclerc has the slogan 'MISSION WINNOW' stitched into his Ferrari hat.It’s on his flame red jacket, the baseball caps, the rear wing of the famous Maranello machines, and a range of promotional goods from backers PMI.Their marketeers define the catchword as “learning from past mistakes to shape the future”; others simply see it as ‘Win Now’.The dictionary describes winnowing as a method of refining the best from the rest. Whichever way you look at it Maranello’s baby-faced assassin is living it to a tee. In 20 races Leclerc's electrifying pace has transformed him from little known rookie to Ferrari’s, and maybe even the sport’s, future alongside Max Verstappen.He has ripped up the form book and arrives in Abu Dhabi this week in the eye of a storm caused by speed that has put the prominence of four-time champion Sebastian Vettel on the line at Ferrari and maybe even his long-term participation in the sport in doubt.

Built in 1940, the circuit has been modified throughout the course of the years, most recently in 1990.The cars drive counterclockwise and the straights are fairly short: As a consequence, there is only one occasion when braking is used to drop the speed by more than 200 km/h (124 mph). The track is very drivable with frequent changes in direction, but it also has high-speed turns that don't require use of the brakes. Every lap, the brakes are used barely seven times, but it is not the negative record for the World Championship: in Hockenheim are used five times, in Monza and Montreal six.Overall, during one lap at Interlagos, the brakes are used for almost 12 seconds which comes to 19% of the duration of the race.The presence of few hard braking points results in the average peak deceleration per lap of 3.6 G.Even the energy dissipated in braking by each single-seater during the entire GP is contained: 206 kWh.From the starting line to the checkered flag, each driver exerts a total load of 40 tons and a half on the brake pedal, which is almost identical to the Russian GP.
