We have reached the last race weekend of the season. Even though the chapter of world titles has already closed some time ago with the victory of Max Verstappen and Red Bull, many aspire to end the year better than they started it. In recent races, Ferrari, McLaren and Mercedes have come closer to the Austrian team which no longer developed the single-seater. Even at the bottom of the table the battles have become more intense. AlphaTauri has made a big leap in quality with the updates. The team, which will change its name from next year, is 7 points behind Williams, seventh in the constructors' standings. He will try to reach it in the last weekend available, on a track a little more suited to the new AT03 than Las Vegas. Taking into account that last weekend some winning choices proved to be the least obvious, let's see for the last time who to field at Fanta F1 with tips for Abu Dhabi.
Advice on who to line up at Fanta F1 for the last weekend of the season
The forecasts for the race see Red Bull as the absolute favorite despite the balance problems, with McLaren competing for the position of second force on a demanding circuit, but one that winks at them, like that of Yas Marina. Ferrari and Mercedes may be the teams slightly behind, but a close fight is expected for second place in the constructors' championship. The damage to Sainz's car also needs to be assessed. The Spaniard, fresh from a bad accident just last Friday in Las Vegas, ended up on the wall in the first minutes of the match FP2 in Abu Dhabi. It's the second weekend in a row of hard work for the garage 55 team who will now have to deal with more damage. Sainz found himself in difficulty both in the FP1 than in FP2. However, Leclerc's feeling is different, as he closed the only session of his Friday with a first place. In view of FP3, the teams will have to work hard to resolve the balance problems and the many jolts that led to the two accidents in FP2.
