Formula 1 in 2023 draws to a close with the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, home of the final race of the season, so make sure you know how to watch the race at the Yas Marina Circuit on TV in the UK, USA and Australia.
Max Verstappen and Red Bull are looking to end their season on a high after, statistically, the most dominant F1 season ever. Verstappen is a three-time winner in Abu Dhabi and it would be a shock if he doesn’t make it four victories at the season-finale.
Carlos Sainz is the only non-Red Bull winner this year and Ferrari‘s strong performances in Brazil and Las Vegas have put them just four points behind Mercedes in the battle for second in the constructors’ championship.
McLaren are only 11 points ahead of Aston Martin in the fight for fourth and nine points separate AlphaTauri, Alfa Romeo and Haas at the bottom of the standings.
