F1 race day head to heads - final rankings

Max Verstappen scored his 15th victory of a record-breaking F1 season to bring the year to a close at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

The Dutchman was dominant at the Yas Island circuit, while behind him Charles Leclerc overcame Sergio Perez to snatch second in the drivers' standings.

Mercedes, meanwhile, endured a difficult final race with its W13 as Lewis Hamilton retired and George Russell lacked the pace of the two teams at the front.

For Sebastian Vettel, a point from his farewell race was welcome although he had naturally hoped for more, making sure Aston Martin was aware of his disliking of the strategy calls that hampered his progress.

After the final curtain fell on the season, which drivers won out in their battles against their chief rivals in the garage next door?
