The thrilling 2022 F1 season comes to a close at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix with Max Verstappen looking for a record-extending 15th victory of the season.
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 start second and third, respectively, as they battle for second place in the drivers' championship.
The key times on Sunday are:
Verstappen took pole as Perez sealed a Red Bull one-two in Qualifying, giving the Mexican the early advantage over Ferrari's Leclerc, with the pair level on points ahead of Sunday's race.
Meanwhile, George Russell leading home Lewis Hamilton in a one-two in Sao Paulo brought Mercedes within 19 points of Ferrari, leaving the Silver Arrows with hope of leapfrogging Ferrari for second in the constructors' championship.
While Alpine have put a strong gap between themselves and McLaren in the contest for fourth, close battles continue between Alfa Romeo for sixth, and between Haas and AlphaTauri for eighth.
Sebastian Vettel will start from ninth for Aston Martin in his final Grand Prix, with the four-time world champion retiring from the sport at the end of the season.
The final round of the Formula 2 season is also running concurrently, with Logan Sargeant needing a strong performance to ensure he gains the required super licence points to take up an F1 seat with Williams next season.
