F1: Top 5 Races Of All-time at the Abu Dhabi GP

2016 - The Silver Arrows Battle Again

The two Mercedes rivals embrace each other after a hard-fought season-long battle.

Just like 2014, Mercedes drivers Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg went into the final round in Abu Dhabi with the driver's title still to be decided. However, this time it was Rosberg who was in the ascendancy, with Hamilton requiring a win and his team-mate to finish fourth or lower. Lewis claimed pole position on Saturday and converted this into first place on the first lap, Rosberg following cautiously behind.

Max Verstappen spun and fell to the back of the field, but the Dutchman would make a sensational comeback throughout the race. Nico shadowed Hamilton in the opening exchanges and this remained the case for the majority of the Grand Prix. Verstappen - on a very ambitious 1-stop - held up Rosberg, but he'd be passed on Lap 20 in a move that arguably won Rosberg the title.

Hamilton would back off and try to slow his team-mate down in the closing laps and with both Sebastian Vettel and Verstappen bearing down on the Silver Arrows, this was definitely be achieved. The final tour was an agonising watch, as the front four would snake through sector 3, but it was Rosberg who won his sole world championship, second place being enough for him.

2016 was a brilliant tactical drive, but Lewis wouldn't win the title that year, as, despite his best efforts, Rosberg finished second. A very hollow victory, but they all count.
