Habibi, Come to Abu Dhabi with Bharati

We’ve finally arrived at the season finale — Abu Dhabi under the sunset glow and the Yas Marina floodlights. And to close out the year, I’m joined by my very first guest, my sister Bharati, for a full-circle moment on F101 with Friends.

We break down the magic and madness of this $1.3-billion boomerang-shaped circuit: the tight, bumpy opening sector, the endless DRS spine, the hotel section where tiny mistakes become heartbreak. From championship decides to farewell races, and the unforgettable 2024 final, Abu Dhabi never goes quiet into the gentle night.

It’s a race of sunsets, plot twists, and endings of every kind.
