Round 18 of the 2013 Formula One season takes place this weekend at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi.

In 2012, the Yas Marina circuit witnessed a classic as Kimi Raikkonen took the victory, while Sebastian Vettel’s championship lead was reduced to 10 points with two races remaining.

The German went on to win his third consecutive title and, after a dominant campaign in 2013, is hot favourite to win in the Middle East this year.

Coverage of the three practice sessions, qualifying and the race will be shown live on Sky Sports F1, while the BBC will air highlights of qualifying and the race.
