the last one is gone. The Formula 1 season closes with the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, in the United Arab Emirates, with the two-time world champion Max Verstappen (Red Bull) from the pole position of a competition that can give three important definitions and will also have Sebastian Vettel’s last retirement (Aston Martin), one of the iconic drivers of the last decades.
The decisive race of the season, 58 laps, is run from 10:00 (Argentina time) on the semi-road circuit of Yas Marina, 5,309 meters long, with Fox Sports television.
The Dutchman Verstappen shattered the weekend records being the only one able to lower the minute 1:24 in the Yas Marina circuit (1:23.824), escorted by his Mexican teammate Sergio ‘Checo’ Perez and the Monegasque charles leclerc (Ferrari), precisely the two who fight to be one runners-up and are tied on 290 points.
The Spanish Charles Sainz (Ferrari) will start fourth and his compatriot Fernando Alonso (Alpine) went out in Q2 in 11th fastest time, while Mercedes, battling Ferrari for second place among constructors, fell further behind than expected, with seven-times world champion Lewis Hamilton fifth – could be his first season without a win – and his compatriot George Russell, newly victorious in Brazil, sixth.
In the fight for fourth place in the constructors’ standings, between Alpine and McLaren, the British Lando Norris (McLaren) managed to finish first in the “other” championship, seventh, ahead of the French Esteban Ocon (Alpine).
In his final weekend in Formula 1, German Sebastian Vettel (Aston Martin) finished ninth, and will share the grid row with Australian Daniel Ricciardo (McLaren), who bids farewell to the team and finalizes his move to Red Bull as third driver.
German Vettel ends his career with 299 Grand Prix Y four titles consecutive world cups in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013.
