His outing comes as Formula One has announced a deal to continue racing in Abu Dhabi, which hosts the title-deciding season finale on Sunday, through 2030.
The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is held at the Yas Marina Circuit and was added to the F1 calendar in 2009.
Today’s race is the conclusion of three consecutive events in the Middle East and the fourth and final stop in the region on the F1 calendar.

‘We are delighted to confirm that we will be racing in Abu Dhabi until 2030 under this new agreement’, F1 chief executive and president Stefano Domenicali said on Thursday.
‘We are hugely looking forward to the season finale this weekend when more Formula One history will be made.’
Hamilton has used three consecutive victories to tie Verstappen – who was seen arriving with girlfriend Kelly Piquet – in the standings ahead of the finale.

It marks the fourth time the title will be decided at Yas Marina, where the championship was settled in 2010, 2014 and 2016.
Max has insisted that he is ‘treated differently’ to other drivers and won’t change his driving style after receiving two separate time penalties at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
The Dutchman has refused to back down on his belief that he did nothing wrong during the penultimate race of the season, heading into his championship showdown with Lewis.

Max twice ran deep in battles with Lewis at Turn 1 and was asked to give the position back on both occasions – receiving a five-second time penalty for gaining an advantage off the track.
In the most controversial moment of the Grand Prix, Max was found guilty after the race of brake checking Hamilton on Lap 37 – after slowing down to let the Brit through resulting in a ten-second penalty.
Lewis was reluctant to pass Max before the DRS line so he could get the speed advantage on the main straight, before the Dutchman applied the brakes and the Brit damaged his front wing after clipping the rear of the Red Bull.
Reflecting on the race on Thursday, Max said that ‘clearly things don’t apply for everyone’.
As reported by Autosport, he said: ‘The things that I did in terms of defending, two other guys in terms of racing also did, and they didn’t even get a mention or a penalty.
‘So I don’t understand, because I thought I was just racing hard. What happened for me didn’t deserve any penalty, and clearly the other two people who did it, they didn’t get one, but clearly it’s only me who gets it.
‘Of course, fighting at the front, people are a bit more critical I guess, but for me I don’t understand.’The 24-year-old went on to add: ‘I think from my side, what is unfair [is] that I am treated differently to other drivers.’
