The man-made harbour, the sci-fi hotel that crosses the track, the pretty lights in the darkness… Abu Dhabi’s El race looks great on TV. As it did for Nigel in the paddock and press room for the much-anticipated season finale. But it takes more than that to impress our editor-in-chief. This is supposed to be a race circuit, after all.
