The English Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes), who a month ago had already secured his fifth Formula One World Championship in Mexico City, won the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, the last of the championship, which served as farewell to the premier class of the double Spanish world champion Fernando Alonso.
Hamilton achieved his eleventh victory of the year, the seventy-third of his F1 career, by winning at the Yas Marina track ahead of German Sebastian Vettel (Ferrari) – world runner-up this year – and Dutchman Max Verstappen (Red Bull), a race in which Alonso finished eleventh and his compatriot Carlos Sainz (Renault), sixth.
