AHMED AL HAMELI made his debut in 2006 and enjoyed a successful term with Abu Dhabi before following his long time team manager Scott Gillman to Team Emirates in the 2015 reshuffle and in 2017 runs in the blue of Victory.

A 73 grand Prix veteran he has won seven times, picking up a further 11 podiums and has started from pole position 10 times. His best season was in 2011 finishing in fourth in the championship standings.

A serious illness in 2012 forced him to stop racing whilst leading the championship standings, but he returned the following year and last season signalled he was back to his best, winning from pole in Liuzhou in China.
