All three enter Yas Marina with unfinished business: Lando searching for that decisive end-of-season victory, Oscar looking to stamp his authority as McLaren’s rising star, and Max aiming to close out the year with number five as he’s dominated in this era — out front, under the lights.
But the story doesn’t end there.
George Russell arrives with serious momentum, riding a wave of strong performances and benefiting from a Mercedes package that loves the cooler track conditions created by Abu Dhabi’s unique day-to-night transition. Russell has been one of the most consistent late-season performers, and this circuit could play directly into his hands.
Ferrari, meanwhile, is entering the finale with fire. Their 2025 qualifying pace has kept the grid nervous all year, and with a mandatory two-stop strategy shaping Sunday’s showdown, Ferrari’s execution on the pit wall becomes everything. Leclerc and Hamilton know a strong finish could reset the storyline heading into 2026.
From McLaren’s hungry young duo to Max’s relentless pace, from Russell’s late surge to Ferrari’s final push — the Yas Marina finale is set to deliver a spectacular closing chapter. One last race. One last chance to make history. check out the TikTok
