Shocking moment huge brawl breaks out at F1 party in Abu Dhabi as bottles of prosecco are launched at spectators
SHOCKING footage has emerged showing a mass brawl between boozed up guests at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Celebrations from fans at the event got completely out of hand as a huge fight broke out at the £1billion Yas Marina Circuit as guests flung bottles at each other.
Max Verstappen secured his 19th win of the season as the Red Bull driver celebrated being crowned Formula One world champion again in style.
But security had to intervene as revellers brawled at an exclusive event that took place on a balcony overlooking the course that was covered in Red Bull-branded parasols.
The F1 fans in attendance, some of which are said to be British, began hitting each other with bottles and jumping over furniture to get at one another.
Further videos showed more chaotic scenes from what appears to be a race afterparty, and it remains unclear whether there were multiple small fights or if they were linked.
One person who claimed to have been at the event and witnessed the scenes shared footage on X and wrote: “Can’t take the British no where can ye.”
The clip starts with a woman yelling at a group of men that were trying to get past her, with security staff separating them.
Then another woman puts her arm around one man’s neck and tries to restrain him from getting involved.
But chaos soon broke out as a number of battles broke out as more people continued to join in.

One reveller in a red t-shirt could be seen scrambling over white couches to whack someone before they were pulled back, then a man in a white shirt retaliates by striking him.
Anger continued to boil over as several men began using bottles of wine and beer as weapons in the fight.
One throws what looks to be a prosecco bottle straight at another male while others are spotted with larger bottles in the melee.
Security try to hold them back as the red VIP cordons are sent flying to the floor as the staff quickly get outnumbered.
A DJ is then heard telling the gathering crowd “let’s go” before he suddenly realises that trouble has broken out.
He then urges security to go over to a table to deal with the aggressors while Kanye West‘s hit ‘All of the Lights’ song is played in the background.
The rapper, 46, was actually among the VIP guests in attendance at the grand prix on Sunday.
A host of other big names, including both Naomi Campbell and Priyanka Chopra, were also spotted at the race.
Red Bull are yet to comment on the incident.
