F1 Season Finale: McLaren, Ferrari, and Driver Battles

The 2024 Formula 1 season is set to conclude with the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, and several key battles are yet to be decided. The constructors' championship is the main focus, with McLaren and Ferrari locked in a tight contest. McLaren, currently leading by 21 points with 640 points, is on the cusp of their first constructors' title since 1998, while Ferrari is aiming for their first since 2008 and a record-extending 17th title[1].

In the drivers' standings, the fight for the runner-up position is intense between Lando Norris and Charles Leclerc, with just eight points separating them. Norris needs to finish at least second to maintain his position, while Leclerc must win and secure the fastest lap to overtake Norris[1].

Another significant battle is for sixth place in the constructors' standings, involving Alpine, Haas, and Alfa Romeo. Alpine currently holds this position but faces a challenge as they will field reserve driver Jack Doohan in place of Esteban Ocon, who is joining Haas for the post-season test[1].

The second Red Bull seat for the 2025 season is also up for grabs, with Sergio Perez, Liam Lawson, and Yuki Tsunoda in contention. Perez's poor season has put him on the back foot, while Lawson is emerging as the front-runner[1].

In his final race for Mercedes, Lewis Hamilton faces an uphill task to avoid a career-worst seventh place in the standings. He must win the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix to have any chance of improving his position[1].
