Private Jet Charter at Formula 1
It is that time of the year again when Abu Dhabi is in the spot light for one reason only and that is for the excitement of Formula 1 Grand Prix. The annual race which signifies the end of another season is Private Jet Charter®’s favorite event as we knock heads with racing and motoring enthusiasts, not only from the UAE but around the world.
The whole day for us started at Stars and Bars as we were lead down into the marina to the awaiting 114ft yacht The Masayel, with stunning views of the track, other neighboring yachts and the unusually designed Yas Viceroy. The sun was shining warmer than it had for a few weeks and the champagne was flowing as the excitement continued to build as 5 pm, which was the race start drew closer.
Our particular yacht and the wonderful service for the day was provided by none other than our preferred hotel partner the Ritz Carlton Jumeirah Beach. These guys certainly know how to host an event and we received as always the most professional service and were surrounded with a bubbly, friendly atmosphere.
I know that with the Formula 1 being an international glamourous event it attracts many wealthy individuals, celebrities and royals and they were all flying in to watch the race on a vast array of private jets. Utilizing the close proximity of Al Bateen airport there was an abundance of jets spotted parked up as racing enthusiasts from around the globe came to Abu Dhabi with limousine transportation from the VIP terminal to an awaiting yacht. The buzz of excitement began to grow as the drivers did their famous pre-race lap around the track and the sense of anticipation of who was going to be the world champion was the talk between everyone who was present.
Private Jet Charter®’s most exciting moment is always just prior to the race starting as the main sponsor for the event Etihad do an impressive fly over the Yas Viceroy. It is an absolutely spectacular site and certainly for us aviation enthusiasts a moment that is definitely a highlight of the entire day. So as soon as that is completed you can hear the firing up of the engines as the drivers head towards the starting grid as the drivers take their starting positions in what is often described as the most exciting start to any sporting race.
I learned a lot about Formula 1 racing this year. The Yas Marina Circuit is 5,554 kilometers in total length and the race consists of 55 laps around 21 corners. If you compare the dynamics of Formula 1 racing and the design of the cars there are similarities to aircrafts. Aerodynamics has become key to the success in the sport and teams spend tens of millions of dollars on research and development every year. There are two primary concerns in the creation of downforce to help push the tyres onto the track and improve cornering forces and minimizing drag that gets caused by turbulence and acts to slow the car down. The now famous race car wings operate on exactly the same principle as aircraft wings only in reverse. Air flows at different speeds over the two sides of the wing and this creates a difference in pressure. Planes use their wings to create lift and race cars use theirs to create downforce.
Every Formula 1 car is capable of going from 0 to 160km and back to 0 in less than 5 seconds. With the ability to reach top speeds of up to 362km an hour it was difficult to see who was leading the race as they sped passed the Marina at incredible speed however with the assistance of the sports commentators it was clear from early on that Lewis Hamilton had complete control and domination over the race. The stunningly beautiful Nicole Scherzinger looked on with thousands of fans as the new world champion completed the race in 1:39.02.691 and 2.56 seconds ahead of the nearest competitor. The horns went off loudly and the fireworks began as the Briton had his 11th win of the season and took the world championship title for the second time.
Private Jet Charter® was very excited about the result and being part of such a fantastic event. After celebrating into the night and for some into the morning the private jets in Abu Dhabi were being prepared to fly the VIP guests all over the globe. It comes as no surprise to us that Lewis Hamilton actually arrived in his own private jet which is a blood red Bombardier Challenger 605. The brand new formula 1 world champion has one of the most popular and most chartered jets in this region with a pull out bed, several plasma television screens and a bar. It is most certainly the grandest way to end the festivities and arrive back home in luxury, style and at any time you chose. For those other drivers and celebrities who do not have their own jet they can certainly charter one to ensure ease of travel to such glamorous events. Until next year when we see Abu Dhabi in the limelight again with even more Private Jets flying into the UAEs capital for this magnificent weekend and private jet charter cannot wait to witness this great race once more.
