Sebastian Vettel finished inside the points in his final Formula 1 race, as Charles Leclerc held off Sergio Perez to deny Red Bull their first ever one-two finish in the drivers' championship.
Max Verstappen won the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix comfortably, but the real intrigue was behind him. Leclerc stuck to a one-stop strategy to get track position while Perez gambles with two trips to the pits, but despite his fresher tyres he was unable to get past the Ferrari driver.
So Leclerc took second in the race and the championship, with Perez having to settle for third. Further back, Vettel managed 10th place despite looking like he would miss out on points, in his F1 farewell race. His Aston Martin team gambled with a one-stop strategy that did not work, but Lewis Hamilton retired with two laps to go with a hydraulics problem which pushed him up into the points.
