Abu Dhabi 2009 - Schedule - Previewing the brand new Yas Marina race to send off the season
Published by Christine
It's the last race of the year, then, and we are heading to the brand new Yas Marina Circuit. Thoughts of the upcoming track seem mixed, and now is the moment of truth.
Here are your final two schedules for 2009, with the first indicating when the BBC broadcasting will begun, which in turn dictates when the live commenting threads will appear. The second table is our podcast schedule, which is slightly more flexible.
