After 23 rounds of a thrilling 2025 F1 season, the championship will finally be decided once and for all at the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

For the first time since 2021, we head into the final race of the season with the drivers' championship still up for grabs.

Lando Norris leads the way and will only need to secure a top-three finish at the Yas Marina Circuit to be absolutely sure of winning the title, with four-time champion Max Verstappen 12 points behind and Oscar Piastri also still in with a shout, 16 points behind Norris.

Verstappen's win in Qatar, where Norris only finished fourth, has given the Dutchman a chance to claim a record-breaking fifth consecutive world title.

Heading into the Abu Dhabi GP, Verstappen is on pole followed by Norris in second and Piastri in third.

It's going to be an exciting fight between the three championship protagonists in Abu Dhabi, but how will the weather impact proceedings at the Yas Marina Circuit?

Sunday, December 7 (Race)

Lights out for the grand prix on Sunday is at 5pm local time, and the race will start off in the light before slowly becoming a twilight race as we progress through the 58-lap event.

The points will be on offer in Sunday's race and, as the chequered flag comes down, we will know who our 2025 champion will be.

Temperatures will be sat at 27 degrees Celsius for the start of the race, before coming down to around 26 as the sun sets.

We will not see any rain throughout the race distance, while humidity will hover around the 60 per cent mark.

Wind speeds at the start of the race may well be approaching 12mph from the north, which may make a change for the racers compared to the rest of the weekend, and they might need to change their braking points around the circuit.

The forecast could change between now and the weekend, so be sure to check back to this page for any updates!
