Formula 1 heads into the final race of the season in Abu Dhabi after McLaren’s disastrous call in Qatar. What were McLaren thinking? Every team pitted on Lap 7 except Team Papaya, and their decision cost Oscar Piastri a potential race victory and Lando Norris valuable Drivers’ Championship points.

Max Verstappen has a simple reason for strolling into Formula 1’s three-way title showdown with zero stress: “I’ve got four of those trophies at home."

Norris is favourite in the three-way showdown, 12 points clear of Verstappen and needing 'only' to finish on the podium at Yas Marina whoever wins on what could be a night of high drama.
