F1 Race Today: Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2023 start times, schedule and TV channel

When the chequered flag falls on the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on Sunday, it will mark the final chapter of the 2023 Formula 1 season.

With the drivers' and constructors' championships resolved, a fierce duel for second place is still raging between Mercedes and Ferrari.

Meanwhile, Carlos Sainz, who failed to escape Q1 on Saturday, and Fernando Alonso are deadlocked at 200 points each in the battle for fourth place in the drivers' standings, while Lando Norris and Charles Leclerc also have designs on the top four.

Mercedes carry a slim four-point lead over their Italian rivals into the Yas Marina Circuit race - with the battle likely coming down to the performances of Leclerc and George Russell, who start the race from the first and second row respectively. Lewis Hamilton will start P11 after failing to make Q3 for a second successive weekend.
