For the first time in 15 years, Formula 1 has a three drivers in contention for the title at its season finale as Lando Norris, Max Verstappen and Oscar Piastri battle for the championship at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Norris has a 12-point lead over Verstappen and 16-point advantage over Piastri, so a podium will be enough to become world champion but it is never straightforward in Formula 1.
Verstappen and Piastri realistically need to win Sunday's race, while hoping Norris suffers some misfortune or makes a mistake if they were to steal the title.
Mercedes are 33 points ahead of Red Bull in the Constructors' Championship in the battle for runners-up spot behind McLaren in another fight to look out for.
Abu Dhabi is the last race with the current F1 cars before new regulations are introduced for 2026 which could shake up the pecking order.
The Yas Marina Circuit changed in 2021 to open up more overtaking opportunities with more sweeping corners to make it easier to follow around the 3.281-mile circuit.
The two best spots to make a move remain at Turn Six and Turn Nine at the end of the two back straights, with the final sector testing the downforce and balance of the car.
Unsurprisingly, there will be no rain in Abu Dhabi with temperatures reaching 28C in the day and dropping to 23C for the evening sessions, including qualifying on Saturday and the race on Sunday.
