Grand Prix weekend just wrapped, and there is no chance you could have missed it. Between the giant purple “all roads lead to Abu Dhabi” billboards and the nonstop orange-and-blue Insta spam celebrating McLaren’s golden boy Lando Norris, the whole city felt the “F1 Fever”. Once again, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix proved why it sits at the very top of the region’s social calendar.
But while the track was blazing, the paddock was giving just as much heat. And of course Abu Dhabi wasn’t going to host F1 without sprinkling in a little red-carpet energy. F1 and fashion have always been a power couple, and this year’s grid delivered.
