Our debut appearance at Yas Marina Circuit as part of the 2025 Formula 1® Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix delivered a season finale truly befitting Masters Historic Racing. The Masters Racing Legends grid brought the golden era of Formula One back to the forefront, showcasing two competitive and engaging races that celebrated the skill, precision, and character of historic motorsport.

 

Away from the track battles, the Masters Racing Legends grid once again highlighted the engineering excellence of the 1966-1985 Formula One era, bringing some of the sport's most significant machinery back into the international spotlight. While the entire field represented remarkable heritage, Williams held a special distinction this weekend as the only manufacturer present both in our historic grid and on today's Formula One® grid — a rare continuity of legacy across generations.

The Abu Dhabi weekend marked the conclusion of our seven-event 2025 season, closing a year defined by competitive racing, strong grids, and the shared passion that continues to inspire Masters Historic Racing. As we reflect on the season, we extend our warmest thanks to our drivers, teams, partners, and supporters for their continued commitment throughout the year.

With the chequered flag now fallen on 2025, we look forward to the next chapter with anticipation.

We cannot wait to welcome you back to the grid in 2026.

Hall Sets the Pace in Thrilling Saturday Opener as Vintage F1 Duel Captivates the Crowd

Saturday's opening race set a strong tone for the weekend, with Stuart Hall (1977 Shadow DN8, OC Racing) taking victory ahead of Oliver James Webb (1980 Fittipaldi F8, G-CAT Racing) and Christophe D'Ansembourg (1981 Williams FW07C, Front Row Racing) in a closely fought contest. The race also featured a spirited wheel-to-wheel exchange between John Turner (1978 ATS HS1, Creation Auto) and Frédéric Fatien (1974 Hesketh 308B, MJ Tech), adding further intrigue to an already compelling evening.

Constable Storms from Last to First in Spectacular Sunday Fightback

Sunday's Race 2 delivered one of the standout drives of the season. Jamie Constable (1982 Tyrrell 011, Front Row Racing) produced an exceptional performance, charging from the very back of the grid to claim a well-earned victory. Several front-runners also started from the rear following Saturday's events. Mike Cantillon (1982 Williams FW07C, Front Row Racing) completed an equally impressive recovery drive to secure second place, while Stuart Hall rounded off the podium with another confident showing.
