It's 8 a.m. here at home in southeastern Florida, and I am watching a live broadcast of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on Sky Sports F1 (on ESPN ).
This is the 22nd race of the 23-race Formula 1 auto racing season for 2023, but it is the last race of the season due to a cancellation of a previous race. Today's circuit (track) is the Yas Marina Circuit on Yas Island, near Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates.
The first 21 races were in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Azerbaijan, Miami, Monaco, Spain, Canada, Austria, Great Britain, Hungary, Beligium, The Netherlands, Italy, Singapore, Japan, Qatar, Austin, Mexico, Brazil, and Las Vegas.
This season, there are two races, actually one, in Italy and three races in the United States (Miami, Austin, and an inaugural race in Las Vegas). The Grand Prix in Imola, Italy, earlier this season was canceled due to poor weather conditions: rain and flooding.
Formula 1 racing is the only sport that I actively follow. There are 20 drivers on 10 teams (constructors). Only one driver is from the United States.
The Red Bull team won the Constructors Championship after the Japanese Grand Prix. Red Bull driver Max Verstappen of The Netherlands won the Championship, after he won the Qatar Grand Prix.
