This year has also come to an end: we are in thelast Formula 1 weekend of the seasonEverything has happened, but one thing has never been missing: line up your team before qualifying. And even today, none of this changes. We are here to tell you the latest Recommended by Fanta F1 for the Abu Dhabi GP.
Yas Marina: Where (modern) world champions are crowned
For 16 years now, the final stage of the World Championship has been held in Yas Marina, Abu Dhabi. Many transformations over the years, such as that of the 2021. Two long left-hand bends were introduced (the 5 , 9) where there were previously two very twisty double chicanes. These innovations have made the circuit much smoother, thanks also to the increase in roadway and banking throughout the entire last sector. There remains a circuit to medium-high load, with great stress on the tires and where the traction exiting corners can make the difference. Many modern world champions have won their first world title here, as Hag, Rosberg or the closest one Max VerstappenWill this epilogue happen again on Sunday?
Here are the latest recommendations for this season
But let's move on to the key point of these premises: Who are Fanta F1's recommended drivers for the Abu Dhabi GP? The first name is currently second in the Drivers' World Championship, 12 points behind the first position when in Zandvoort it was more than 100 points behind the leader. No further introduction is needed. SuperMaxEven if he doesn't win his fifth title, he has a great chance of winning the match and, therefore, bringing home a lot of points for our team. The expense for the Dutchman is significant, and adding another top player alongside him would make the team too unbalanced. So, instead of George Russell, let's go for Kimi AntonelliHe didn't do very well in the FP2, but what he lacks is just a little more safety in its means. And Italian has already demonstrated that it knows how to pull the rabbit out of the cylinder.
Now, let's close our team
Without any hesitation and without thinking twice, among the recommended ones for the Abu Dhabi GP there cannot be anything else Oliver Bearman. A choice that aims to reward both the great results seen during the season, both a Haas which in free practice seemed enough to hit Q3. This would allow the young Briton to be able to have a lot of fun in the race. Even if perhaps slightly higher in the throttle than the others, we want to trust one Sauber on the rise and who wants to respectfully greet such an important brand. And this driver wants to make it clear to Audi of having made the best choice. Nico Hulkenberg He falls into that category of experienced drivers who, on a track like this, have all the credentials to do well. The last driver is theyet another rookie on this list. It is Isaac Hadjar. He too, like the green driver, will want to do even more noted by Red Bull, who has already hired him for the 2026.
The history, the prestige…
