Ferrari and Renault have been the latest teams to confirm that their drivers will be in Abu Dhabi to take part in the F1 Festival on Saturday, 3rd February 2007. The event will be the largest gathering of F1 cars and drivers ever assembled outside of a Grand Prix event. Ten teams have now announced their involvement, with Williams the only one not on the list. It is completely free to the public and will start at 9am.

"We are absolutely delighted that Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro will be bringing both of their drivers and their cars to race through the streets of Abu Dhabi - in what is now a matter of days," commented Sheikh Sultan bin Tahnoon Al Nayhan, Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority.

"Ferrari enjoys a unique relationship with its fans around the world and the UAE is no exception. This will be a rare opportunity for fans to see their heroes up close," he added.
