Just days after racing in Brazil, F1 returns to action this weekend as the 2022 season concludes with the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
While the 2021 event played host to the controversial title showdown between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton, both championships have long been sealed by Verstappen and Red Bull ahead of this year's event.
However, there is still plenty to play for. Sergio Perez and Charles Leclerc are tied on points as they battle for P2 in the World Championship.
Elsewhere, Mercedes have closed the gap to second-placed Ferrari in the Constructors' standings, with 19 points separating them. Can the Silver Arrows repeat their Brazilian Grand Prix success to take the spot?
The weekend will follow the usual format, with two practice sessions taking place on Friday. FP1 is scheduled for 10:00 UK time, with FP2 following at 13:00.
On Saturday, FP3 will be held at 10:30 UK time, ahead of qualifying at 14:00. This will determine the grid for Sunday's 58-lap Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, which starts at 13:00.
RacingNews365.com will be on hand to cover all of the action and you can find our live blog here. We will also have exclusive interviews, news and analysis throughout the entire weekend at the Yas Marina Circuit.

Video: F1 pit-stops under two seconds are allowed (and THIS is why)
At the Mexico City Grand Prix, McLaren became the first team to complete a sub-two second pit-stop since the introduction of the new F1 pit-stop regulations, changing all four tyres on Daniel Ricciardo's car in 1.98 seconds.
So how did the team do this, and what changes have been made to F1's pit-stop procedure in the last couple of years?
