The thrilling 2022 F1 season comes to a close at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix with Lewis Hamilton seeking a first win of the year and Max Verstappen looking for a record 15th, at the scene of their epic 2021 battle.

While Verstappen has already wrapped up his second successive drivers’ championship and Red Bull have sealed the constructors’ title, there is still plenty to play for at the Yas Marina Circuit.

Sergio Perez and Charles Leclerc go into the weekend level on points in the battle for second place in the drivers’ championship, after both were denied assistance from their team-mates in Brazil.

The key times are:

• Qualifying starts at 2pm on Saturday, with build-up from 1:15pm
• The Grand Prix starts at 1pm on Sunday, with build-up from 11.30am

Meanwhile, George Russell leading home Lewis Hamilton in a one-two in Sao Paulo has brought Mercedes within 19 points of Ferrari, meaning another strong performance from the Silver Arrows could see them snatch second in the constructors’ championship.
