Max Verstappen wrapped up a fourth consecutive F1 world title two races ago and won again in Qatar last weekend, while McLaren remain in control of the race to win the constructors’ championship.
Lando Norris and Charles Leclerc are battling it out to finish behind Verstappen in the final standings for the season, while Lewis Hamilton will race for the final time as a Mercedes driver ahead of his summer move to Ferrari.
Hamilton endured a shock early exit in Q1 in his last qualifying session with Mercedes, finishing 18th but rising to 16th as a result of penalties elsewhere. The last race of the campaign has been overshadowed by an escalating feud between Verstappen and George Russell after their row in Qatar.
Here’s everything you need to know about the race.
