Heading into the Abu Dhabi finale, Norris was leading the championship, holding a 12-point advantage over the current four-time champion, Max Verstappen from Red Bull Racing. To secure the title, the British racer only needed to finish in the top three.

Hamilton finished in eighth place in Abu Dhabi, after starting from the 16th position, which he earned by not advancing past the first segment in qualifying.
