Abu Dhabi Grand Prix: the Yas Marina formula one circuit

[Julai]

Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone has hailed Abu Dhabi's new circuit as the best ever

"What they've done is unbelievable," said Ecclestone, of the circuit that cost well over $1 billion to build according to some estimates

"It's a bit like Silverstone really when you think about it," said Ecclestone ironically, comparing his palatial surroundings to the former World War Two airfield that hosted the first championship race in Britain in 1950

The Yas Marina track is part of a $40 billion development of the emirate's Yas Island
