This is it! After 22 rounds, the season comes to a close at Abu Dhabi where both title contenders line up first and second on the grid.

F1 braces itself for title showdown

Verstappen snatched pole position from Hamilton in qualifying and will start the Grand Prix on the soft tyres. Hamilton, who looked quick throughout Saturday, will be on the harder medium compound.

It was a surprise result for McLaren as Lando Norris starts on the second row of the grid in third place. The Briton is excited to have the “best seat in the house” and he sits behind the two title protagonists.

In the battle of the teammates, It’s Red Bull’s Sergio Perez who is the closer of the two in fourth. It will be harder for Hamilton’s teammate Valtteri Bottas to assist who sits down in sixth place.
