The F1 circus is in Abu Dhabi this weekend for the 2021 season finale. A heavily-remodeled Yas Marina Circuit plays host to the most exciting title decider in recent memory.
Currently, the two drivers still in contention for the drivers’ championship — Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton — are level on points heading into the final race, for only the second time in F1 history since 1974. However, Verstappen has nine wins to Hamilton’s eight, which sees him head the standings.
Drivers took to the Yas Marina Circuit – redesigned this year to allow for better overtaking opportunities – for Friday's two practice sessions. They generally found it nicer to drive compared to the older layout. Meanwhile, both Red Bull Racing and Mercedes were busy collecting crucial data for their most important race of the season.
