Formula 2 will be worth a watch tomorrow at 9:10am UK time, Pourchaire and Vesti are down to the final race to win the title. Pourchaire is ahead by 16 points, but Vesti looked in fine form today in the sprint race. Vesti needs to either win or finish second to be in with a chance for the title, and Pourchaire needs to finish fourth and the title is his.

Wonder how many of the drivers in that group photo will be finishing next season...
Am I making it up that they used to present the driver's championship trophy at the last race of the season? I know they give it at a dinner but I'm sure it used to be in front of the fans?

paul pogba lurking around brundle, hoping he gets a chance to impart his drug cheat wisdom on the world.
Vasseur giving the security guard the deathstare for blocking Brundle 
Surely everyone working security on the grid knows who he is by now

Aeroplanes fly past. So much for carbon reduction.
Leclerc and Max botth pointing noses at each other.
leclerc is giving it all.
Another start where they all process through the first corner with no incident
Come on Charles
Come on Charles
Perez...
Would you like more crashes?
How did Leclerc not take the position there? That's normally a no-brainer overtake.
Well that was interesting for one whole lap 
he's miles clear already
he's miles clear alreadyLook how far Max is already.
Its not Perez he is trying to overtake.
Norris passed Piastri on live timing.
True
He was still ahead and had the inside line, you don't often see drivers keep the position from that.Why don't they have DRS on the first 2 laps? It's when they're closet together and would have been interesting in keep Charles up with Max
So who did you put where?!
im bored. this track is crap.
deffo should have it on lap 2, like they do in the sprints.
DRS train and interval racing, Abu Dhabi does tend to provide some of the dull races.
Nice to see Yuki doing well when the car is not a complete shitbox.

Oh no Lando
what a poor pitstop from McLaren.m
Really tight race. Strategy option between one or two stops will play crucial part. I can see even Max/Leclerc making mistake with just one pitstop.
Did you change your order?! Pretty sure yesterday you had Hamilton ahead of Russell!

Leclerc doing well. Sainz also managing his tyres for a 1 stop.
Lewis should be called in for that flappy wing
Lewis should be called in for that flappy wing
Because virtually the entire field will be within DRS range of the car in front all with cold tyres and brakes. You need the race to settle into a rhythm first.
@United Hobbit sorry that’s wrong I changed it after that:

Yuki P-1. Stop the count!
Nope not touched it as don't want to sacrifice the bonus. We have the exact same top 3 and fast lap so it all comes down to Perez and co...
Pretty embarrassing display so far from Hamilton when his team needs him.
It's so frustrating seeing everyone just give up and let RB cars through as if a blue flag was being waved
What is Sainz doing? Floundering in 14th
this should never be a end of season track. utter crap. petro oil money to thank for this shite.
Boring race, boring sport, now.
Used to love it back in the day, but now every race is a forgone conclusion.

It doesn't help the drivers and constructors was wrapped up so long ago, I know there's the minor places still to play for but they're not as exciting as the first place
Alonso not happy with the car.
