The 2025 Formula 1 season will come to an end this weekend in what is sure to be an intense race — the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Usually by this point in the year, a F1 Drivers' Champion is already determined by a major point margin, but that's not the case. McLaren's Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri are still in contention for a title, along with Red Bull's Max Verstappen.
After jumping into second position in Qatar, Verstappen only trails 12 points behind Norris, who is seeking his first ever title. Should Norris finish in third place or higher, he will complete that feat, but if not, then all bets are off.
Here's how to watch the 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in Australia, including TV channel and streaming options for the Formula 1 race.
