One race remains in the 2022 F1 season, as the field takes on Yas Marina and says goodbye to certain drivers.
Last year's Abu Dhabi grand prix was the exciting and controversial end to an epic battle between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen. No such drama exists entering the 2022 race, but there are plenty of things to watch for in this weekend's race.
The final ranking of the drivers' standings is still to be decided, and drivers will be battling fiercely one last time to edge out their season rivals. The most high profile of these battles will be between Charles Leclerc and Sergio Perez, who enter the race tied for 2nd in the standings with 290 points each. Controversy surrounding team orders with teammate Verstappen at the Sao Paulo grand prix prevented Perez from entering this race with an advantage.
This may also be our last opportunity to see certain drivers in an F1 car. Mick Schumacher, Nicholas Latifi and Daniel Ricciardo all have uncertain futures in the sport. Further, this will be Sebastian Vettel's final race in F1, as the 4-time champion is retiring.
A 1-2 finish by Mercedes in Brazil showed the world that the Silver Arrows could once again be competitive when the 2023 season begins, though that winning pace has come far too late for this season.
