The 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will host the final round of the Formula 1 season at Yas Marina Circuit.

Whilst Max Verstappen sealed the drivers' title at the Las Vegas GP, the constructors' championship will be decided between Ferrari and McLaren in Abu Dhabi.

Only 21 points separate the two teams for the constructors' trophy, after a penalty last time out in Qatar saw Lando Norris finish the race P10.

Sunday's race in Abu Dhabi will also feature Lewis Hamilton's last race with Mercedes, as he prepares to move to Ferrari for next season.

Furthermore, the Abu Dhabi GP could be Sergio Perez's last outing with Red Bull as the Mexican star's future at the team hangs in the balance.

Here is everything you need to know about all three practice sessions at Yas Marina Circuit.

Will it be McLaren or Ferrari who emerge victorious in the constructors'?
