Five themes to watch for in Abu Dhabi
Will Vettel take his third win in a row in Abu Dhabi? Or will Hamilton eclipse the German despite missing out on pole? Edd Straw runs over the talking points after qualifying for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
Unbeatable Vettel?
This is the third Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. In the previous two races, Sebastian Vettel has won on both occasions and led 79 out of 110 laps. He starts Sunday evening's race from pole position at the venue where he became Formula 1's youngest world champion.
Given that track record, you wouldn't bet against him, right? Well, perhaps not, but the McLaren drivers are upbeat about their machine's race pace, giving reason to expect Vettel to have a real fight on his hands if he wants to bag a 12th victory of the season.
