McLaren has added another 'home race' to its 2009 Formula One tour.The Mercedes-powered British squad already calls Germany and Britain home, and a Bahraini company bought a 30 per cent stake in the Woking-based outfit two years ago.
Moreover, last weekend Mercedes' parent company Daimler announced that an investment fund controlled by Abu Dhabi's royal family had paid nearly 2 billion euros to buy a 9.1 per cent stake.
The United Arab Emirates' capital is scheduled to host its inaugural Grand Prix this November.
"We now have another home Grand Prix, so we look forward to a beautiful season finale in Abu Dhabi," Mercedes' competition chief Norbert Haug told the German newspaper Bild.
