Race ace Lewis Hamilton was today crowned F1 World Champion after winning the final race of the season in Abu Dhabi – watched by Prince Harry. Hamilton’s girlfriend, singer Nicole Scherzinger, and his family were also at the finishing line to congratulate the driver.
Prince Harry told him: “Congratulations Lewis, you are an absolute legend.”
Harry – on a tour of the Middle East – had also been in the Infiniti Red Bull enclosure yesterday along with Ginger Spice Geri Halliwell, who is engaged to the Red Bull team boss Christian Horner.
Abu Dhabi has a lot to offer holidaymakers – white beaches and turquoise waters, watersports, historic sites, museums and galleries, international cuisine and a vibrant nightlife. The resort also has the world’s only Ferrari theme park and largest attraction of its kind, home to the 240kmph Formula Rossa – the world’s fastest rollercoaster.
If you fancy a sunshine break in Abu Dhabi, capital of the United Arab Emirates, British Airways is offering three nights at the five-star Intercontinental Abu Dhabi from £629 per person for selected departures in December. Includes return flights from Heathrow and accommodation with breakfast.
