This weekend marks the end of a season like no other, and for the eighth time the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is the curtain closer. After fireworks between the two Red Bull drivers last week, expect to see Checo take no prisoners in his quest to secure his second-place finish over Charles Leclerc – but Ferrari’s desire to secure second in the constructors’ championship may give both drivers the impetus to overcome their second-row starts. All you need to do is follow our full guide on how to watch an Abu Dhabi Grand Prix live stream online from anywhere (opens in new tab).
Verstappen’s title victory has been sewn up for weeks now, but the battle for second is going down to the wire. Leclerc and Perez are currently level pegging on points, so whichever driver comes off best at Yas Marina will secure the silver position.
Further down the pack, we’ll be saying farewell to some fond faces. The 2022 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix marks the end of four-time champion Sebastian Vettel’s storied career. Former teammate Daniel Ricciardo will also be off the grid after failing to secure a seat, with Mick Schumacher and Nicholas Latifi in much the same situation.
Should Checo top Leclerc this weekend, the Red Bull triple will be secured and Horner & co. will likely be having a very well-deserved party. However, with Mercedes finally finding pace last week, could Lewis Hamilton save his untarnished record of winning a race in every season right at the death? It’d certainly be a way to round off what has been a thoroughly disappointing season for the Brit.

How to watch the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix live stream from outside your country
If you’re abroad for this weekend’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, you’ll likely find you’re unable to access your usual Formula 1 coverage like you would at home.

Fortunately, there’s a convenient way around this in the form of a VPN. This is a nifty bit of software that lets you whizz around these digital borders, thereby allowing you to globe trot and still access your preferred F1 live stream. It’s a completely legal workaround, very affordable, and super easy to use – allow us to explain more.
