Max Verstappen will start from pole in the Abu Dhabi GP that closes the Formula 1 season. The Red Bull driver will start from the front line ahead of a Hamilton with whom the World Cup is played in a race that is presented as historic in the Yas Marina circuit. Carlos Sainz will start fifth and Fernando Alonso eleventh after being hampered by Ricciardo on his fastest lap in Q2. It will be necessary to see if Alpine ends up appealing and if there is a sanction to the Australian.
A Fernando Alonso who was pulled out of Q3 by Ricciardo after the McLaren driver himself hampered the two-time world champion on his last fastest lap was injured in qualifying. The gestures of the Asturian arm raised behind the Australian showed his anger. In this way, and awaiting a possible sanction to the Woking team, Alonso will start eleventh in the last race of the season.

Historic race in Abu Dhabi
And it is that what will be experienced this Sunday at the Yas Marina circuit in Abu Dhabi has almost never been experienced in the history of Formula 1 . Only on two occasions has the last race been reached with two riders even in points and during 58 they will fight for the world title which is already considered one of the best in the history of all time against the one who is called to take his relief in the Great Circus . So the show is served.
With the dream of a comeback, a Fernando Alonso will start, who in Abu Dhabi is playing with Vettel and Raikkonen the title of the driver with the most overtaking of the year. The Asturian will wear the famous El Plan on the Alpine spoiler, which can make him aspire to the podium next season.
