#AbuDhabiGP - the best social media from Yas Marina

There was plenty of drama and intrigue on track in Abu Dhabi on Sunday, but what was happening off track in the build-up to the final Grand Prix weekend of 2017? Here's our social media round-up of some of the highlights...

Famous faces

There were celebrity guests aplenty in the Yas Marina paddock, including footballers, DJs, musicians, cycling - and motorcycling stars, and more...

Nice pom-poms!

They say there is no such thing as unwelcome weather, as long as you are dressed appropriately. We're not sure which forecast Force India were looking at...

Hamming it up

Last word goes to the world champions - not content with both titles, they were also gunning for the 'best gag of the year' crown...
