If ever there was one track that needed some of Bernie's sprinklers to come on at random and spice up the race, it's Abu Dhabi in seasons where the championship has already been decided. I expect a close qualifying followed by a relatively comfortable Mercedes win, could be either driver.

Bottas to start from the back of the grid due to new engine penalty.

Also Walter Koster strikes again xD

I like how the punks on the left were disrespectful and laughed, while Kevin remained a bit more focused and respectful. Walter Koster is a treasure!

Both Ferraris with a lot of understeer in Sector 3.
Bottas crashing into Grosjean while trying to overtake him - in free practice... Gets reprimanded by the stewards.

This looks like Hamilton's race to lose.

Poor race as expected... Not fitting to be the final race of the season imo. 

Congrats to Lewis and Mercedes. Totally dominated this weekend and were never in danger today. Lewis smashing the track record was the icing on the cake. A pole, a race win and fastest lap. Perfect.

Ferrari trying to emulate Mercedes' double pit stop and failing miserably haha. 

Good to see Max finishing second and taking the 3rd in the overall standings ahead of both Ferraris; thoroughly deserved. His short battle with Leclerc today once again showed glimpses of things to come in the future. 

Hülkenberg voted Driver of the Day is a nice gesture by the fans :D 

Lando and his engineering both crying on the radio :xxD 

 

So that's the end of the season folks... Looking forward to winter testing now.
