The curtain comes down on the 2022 Formula One season as the final race of the year takes place in Abu Dhabi this week.
On a weekend that will see Max Verstappen officially crowned as a two-time world champion and Red Bull as the constructors champions for the first time since 2013, there’s still plenty to play for, not least in the battle for second spot in the drivers standings.
That’s because Red Bull’s Sergio Perez and Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc enter this last race weekend tied on 290 points after an entertaining Brazilian Grand Prix last time out.
There was controversy in Sao Paulo when Verstappen didn’t allow teammate Perez to overtake him on the final lap under team orders so that the Mexican would hold the upper hand heading into the final race of the season in the United Arab Emirates.

The Dutch driver has since said that he will do whatever it takes to help Perez claim second spot if needed in Abu Dhabi as Red Bull hunt a first ever one-two finish in the drivers’ championship, though the relationship between the two remains frosty for now.
There are also various battles to be had in the constructors’ standings, where Mercedes remain in the hunt to beat Ferrari to second spot after taking first and second in Brazil through George Russell and Lewis Hamilton.
Elsewhere, McLaren will hope to overtake Alpine on the final weekend of the season, whilst Alfa Romeo and Aston Martin are still battling for P6, as are Haas and AlphaTauri for P8.
