F1 Practice Today: Abu Dhabi GP 2023 updated start times, schedule and TV

As the 2023 Formula 1 season concludes, Saturday brings the crucial qualifying session ahead of Sunday's race. But before that, there's a final practice session, following an eventful FP2 on Friday.

Max Verstappen and Red Bull aim to end the year on a high after Verstappen's recent victory in Vegas last time out.

While individual titles won't be determined in this race, the constructors' championship is a tight battle, with Mercedes holding a mere four-point lead over Ferrari.

Fortunately for European viewers, start times are more accommodating this weekend, unlike Las Vegas where they had to rise early to catch the action.
