RacingNews365 takes a look at everything major to be decided in the 2024 F1 season-finale in Abu Dhabi.
The longest-ever F1 season is coming to a close this weekend with the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, the final round of 24. Max Verstappen secured the drivers’ championship in Las Vegas, becoming the sixth driver to win four titles. The constructors’ championship is still up for grabs with McLaren and Ferrari battling it out for the 2024 title with McLaren holding a 21-point lead. The fight for P6 in the constructors’ standings is intense between Alpine, Haas, and RB, as they vie for valuable prize money. The battle for runner-up in the drivers’ championship is tight between Lando Norris and Charles Leclerc, with only eight points separating them. The fight for P10 in the drivers’ standings is also competitive, with Nico Hulkenberg, Pierre Gasly, Yuki Tsunoda, and Lance Stroll in contention. The choice for Verstappen’s teammate at Red Bull for the next season is between Sergio Perez, Liam Lawson, and Tsunoda, with Lawson currently leading the race. Lewis Hamilton, in his final race for Mercedes, aims to avoid a career-worst P7 in the standings and must win in Abu Dhabi for a chance to do so.
