How to follow Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on the BBC

This is the first time the drivers' championship has gone down to the final race of the campaign in Abu Dhabi since 2021

The 2025 season reaches its conclusion with the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix at Yas Marina Circuit, from 5-7 December - and the race will be a championship decider.

After Max Verstappen won the Qatar Grand Prix, and the two McLarens of Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris finished second and fourth respectively, all three drivers still have a chance of being crowned champion at the final race in a week's time.

Norris is top of the standings, 12 points clear of Red Bull's Verstappen and 16 points free of Piastri with 25 points remaining.

Sunday's 58-lap grand prix starts at 13:00 GMT.
