The entire Formula 1 season has come down to one final race — the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will decide the winner of the Drivers' Championship Sunday.
The stakes are higher than ever. Despite being in third for several weeks, Red Bull's Max Verstappen has not given up the chase. The Dutch driver closed the gap on McLaren by winning the Qatar Grand Prix last week, surpassing Oscar Piastri completely.
The only thing left between Verstappen and a dominant fifth championship is Lando Norris, who is seeking his first title. Only 12 points separate the two, and with 25 points available, Norris just needs to finish third or higher to take the win.
