The back page of today's Sunday Express ponders if Lewis Hamilton can hold his nerve to claim his second world title. "I didn't have the best of laps but I feel (today) is going to be a special day," says the 2008 world champion.

Niki Lauda and Alain Prost were the only two men in contention for the title when the 1984 World Championship arrived at the finale in Portugal. Prost won the race, but Lauda only needed to finish second - which he did - and claimed the title by just half a point - the smallest winning margin in the sport's history. That title triumph was Lauda's third and final in the sport.

Nico Rosberg may trail Lewis Hamilton when it comes to race wins this season, but he has a superior record in qualifying, taking 11 poles to seven. The German has also led the most laps the season (482 compared to Hamilton's 455) and finished in the points more often than his team-mate (16-15).

"The highest Red Bull driver on the grid is the lead team's 2015 driver Daniil Kvyat, who moves up from his strong seventh place qualifying position to fifth following the exclusion of Daniel Ricciardo and Sebastian Vettel directly ahead of him. Governing body the FIA investigated all the teams after seeing video footage of some front wings flexing to questionable degrees. But while the three other teams, including Williams, were cleared, Red Bull's wing was deemed too flexible.

"The scrutineers found hidden in the wing what officials deemed to be a leaf spring attached to the end plate and covered in a rubber housing that was painted the same colour as the wing to disguise it. The spring was designed to flex after a certain load had been passed, conferring an aerodynamic advantage. This is why Red Bull were excluded - the infringement was considered much more serious than simply some overly flexible carbon-fibre - about which it can never be certain it was not simply a team going a bit too far by accident - because of its obvious deliberate nature. The Red Bulls will both start from the pit lane after the team decided to change the set-ups to aid overtaking."

Red Bull, the reigning champions, caused a scene in the paddock on Saturday when they were hauled before the stewards for a technical infringement. Sebastian Vettel and Daniel Ricciardo were excluded from qualifying. Why? Andrew Benson has more - and it's quite remarkable.

Mercedes on Twitter:, external End of an era today for the McLaren F1 and Mercedes Benz partnership, great times and great memories. Since 1995, 20 seasons brought 76 pole positions, 78 wins and 231 podium finishes with Mercedes Benz power. Not forgetting world titles for Mika and Lewis Hamilton. We wish you luck with Honda (but not too much).

So here's the plan for today. Live coverage kicks off on BBC One and the video console at the top of the page at 12:10 GMT. BBC Radio 5 live will join the party shortly after with the lights going out at 13:00. Around 100 minutes later, exactly 300 days after the season began, the 2014 Formula 1 world champion will be crowned.

While his father Anthony and pop-star girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger were on hand to celebrate with Lewis Hamilton when he won his first world title in 2008, they will not be in attendance this time around.

"It's just that generally through the year I've not had people come," said Hamilton, who will not have any of his close family in Abu Dhabi. "Then I had them come to a couple of races - but I've got a job to do."

Hamilton has been involved in a final race title decider three times in his career - 2007, 2008 and 2010, but only once has he gone on to win the title (2008).

"Winning is in Lewis Hamilton's DNA, he can't help himself. But I do think there's a little bit at the back of his brain which is looking at trying to win the war, not just this particular battle."

The paddock has been awash with celebrities this weekend, with Happy singer-songwriter Pharrell Williams dropping by on Saturday, ahead of taking to the stage on Saturday night to perform at the post-session concert. He caught up with his friend Lewis Hamilton, after the Briton finished second in qualifying.

Lewis Hamilton will have fond memories of this one. Arriving at Interlagos, Brazil, for the season finale, Hamilton led Ferrari's Felipe Massa in the championship hunt. Fifth place was all that was required, no matter where Massa finished.

But with just one lap to go, Hamilton was sixth, with Massa leading and it looked like the McLaren driver would miss out on the title at the final race for the second successive year. But in the pouring rain, the Briton caught Timo Glock, who was on dry tyres, and passed him in the penultimate corner to secure fifth - and his first world championship.

The Mail on Sunday's back page leads off on an interview with Lewis Hamilton, who insists he "won't crack" under the pressure, despite rival Nico Rosberg claiming pole position. "I have made very, very few mistakes through the year, so I'm not worried," added Hamilton.

That question from David Coulthard is the one that is on everybody's lips this morning. Can Lewis Hamilton, who always says he's only interested in going out there to win, drive for second in this case to secure the title? And who do you think is more deserving of the title and why?

"It's advantage Nico Rosberg as we go into this race. He needs to win the grand prix to have any chance. Lewis Hamilton only has to finish second because of his points advantage. What might make it difficult is the fact the Williams cars of Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa are on second row and the nature of the Abu Dhabi track is it suits Williams' straight line speed. Lewis will be under pressure, but it's an outside chance they'll be able to overtake. Rosberg has to go all out. Will Lewis be content to finish second to secure his second world championship?"

Already world constructors' champions and guaranteed the drivers' world championship, it's been a stunning year for Mercedes. The how team got together for their end of season photo earlier today. Now there's just the small matter of deciding which of their drivers will clinch the biggest prize of all.

Who does former FIA president Max Mosley think is going to win this year's title?

"It is odds on for Lewis, definitely," Mosley tells BBC Radio 5 live's Sportsweek programme. "But there's so many things that can go wrong - it only takes one tiny mistake from a technical point of view, a mechanical failure or a bad pit stop.

"If I was in Hamilton's shoes I would be feeling very nervous, but statistics show he should win and probably will win. For the mechanics it is really nerve-wracking and one small mistake in the preparation of the car or a pit stop can wreck everything.

"Every individual has a task and if that goes wrong they could be responsible for everything going the wrong way."
