As the result of his fifth-place finish in Brazil , Felipe Massa became the first Ferrari driver to complete a full season without finishing on the podium since Didier Pironi in 1981 .
The 2011 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix (formally the Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix ) was the eighteenth and penultimate round of the 2011 Formula One season . It was held on 13 November 2011 at the Yas Marina Circuit on Yas Island , a man-made island on the outskirts of Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates . It was the third running of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix . As is customary with the race, it was the only twilight Grand Prix of the 2011 Formula One season , with a start time of 17:00 local time .
The race was won by McLaren 's Lewis Hamilton . Second was Ferrari 's Fernando Alonso , with Jenson Button coming third in the other McLaren .
Sebastian Vettel , in a Red Bull -Renault , had been in pole position, but retired after a puncture in the first lap, near the second corner, which was his first retirement since the 2010 Korean Grand Prix , where he encountered a problem, with his engine. As a result, this prevented him from equalling Michael Schumacher 's record of 13 wins in one season, but Vettel did equal Nigel Mansell 's 1992 record of 14 pole positions in one season. This was also the first race of 2011 in which neither Red Bull finished on the podium, as Vettel's team-mate Mark Webber finished fourth.
