Paul Crosetta is the project director for Aldar and is overseeing construction of the Yas Island development in Abu Dhabi, including the new F1 circuit. He discussed the massive earthworks and construction progress being made, with over 500 people currently working on site and plans to increase to over 15,000 in 2008. While large in scale, the project remains on schedule to have the circuit completed by the end of 2008 and many facilities ready for the inaugural Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in 2009.
