It's the final round of the F1 season, with the Yas Marina Circuit hosting the closing round of the campaign.
The Yas Marina Circuit has hosted every season finale across the last decade and has been a happy hunting ground for Red Bull and Mercedes, with the two teams winning every edition of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix since 2013.
However, McLaren and Ferrari are also both in play for the victory this weekend as they both target triumph in the constructors' championship.
Should Max Verstappen win on Sunday, he will join Ayrton Senna and Lewis Hamilton for the most consecutive wins at the same grand prix.
Before the race can be decided - it's time for practice! Six non-full-time drivers will substitute, while Jack Doohan is in place at Alpine for the entire race weekend in place of Estaban Ocon.
