Want to know how to watch the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2021 online live for free anywhere in the world? Here's how.
The Abu Dhabi GP is the final race of the 2021 F1 Championship. After the Jeddah Street Circuit made its debut last weekend, the battle between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton is about as close as it could possibly be.
Hamilton claimed his third consecutive victory at the Saudi Arabian GP, preventing Verstappen from claiming the title. Ahead of the Sao Paulo GP, Verstappen had a 19-point lead, but Hamilton and Mercedes' recent success have closed that gap and both drivers now enter the final race on 369.5 points.
Hamilton is now on the cusp of claiming his 8th F1 Championship win, but Verstappen is not going to give up his chances of claiming his first title without a fight.
Who will be crowned the latest F1 Champion? Here's how to watch the Abu Dhabi GP so you can find out.
