The Abu Dhabi Formula 1 Grand Prix race itself usually lasts about 1.5 to 2 hours, with a maximum permitted race time of 2 hours unless there is an exceptional suspension or delay.
Standard race duration
The Abu Dhabi GP is run over 58 laps of the 5.281 km Yas Marina Circuit, for a total race distance of about 306 km, which under normal conditions takes roughly 90 minutes to complete from lights out to the chequered flag. Official schedules describe the Grand Prix window as “58 laps or 120 minutes,” meaning the race must finish within a 2‑hour time limit unless extraordinary circumstances extend overall event time.
