Wins Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Verstappen won the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Yas Marina Circuit on Sunday evening.

Impact The Red Bull Racing star would cover Lando Norris well at the lights out and dive strongly into the first turn. That move would seal Verstappen's lead and allow him to push away to a controlled and comfortable lead. He would surrender the lead to Oscar Piastri during opening pit stops but would soon resume the lead after the McLaren youngster finished his long opening stint. Verstappen would cruise to a 12.5-second victory over Piastri would be powerless to prevent Lando Norris' P3 and narrow margin of victory in the world championship. It was the eighth win of the season for Verstappen.

Verstappen would put down a strong opening flying lap but he would go out in the closing moments of Q3 and post a mind-blowing lap of 1:22.207. He would beat Norris by two-tenths to secure pole position for Sunday's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Verstappen will have an inside track on the win in this season finale.

Impact Verstappen would get off well from the lights out and make a move around the outside of Norris into P2 exiting turn 1. An early-race safety car on lap 7 would bring Verstappen and a good part of the field to pit road for fresh tyres. The two McLarens would instead stay out. The strategy blunder would give the Red Bull Racing star the lead on lap 25 and then it would be his race to dictate from that point on. Verstappen would hold off Piastri down the stretch and collect the victory by nearly 8-secods over the McLaren driver.

Impact The Red Bull Racing star would see Lando Norris cut across his path at the lights out in an attempt to cut him off going into turn 1. However, Norris would run wide in the turn carrying too much speed in the corner. Verstappen would make the overtake and control P1 for the next 50 laps. Norris would have to battle to regain P2 at one point but couldn't catch back up to challenge for the win. It was Verstappen's sixth victory of the season as he would drive away to the 21-second win.
