Max Verstappen will start the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on pole position at the Yas Marina Circuit on Sunday for lights out one final time in the 2023 Formula 1 season.

Charles Leclerc leads the charge for Ferrari in their battle with Mercedes for P2 in the constructors' standings, with the Monegasque driver lining up alongside Verstappen on the front row.

George Russell appears to be Mercedes' best chance of countering that threat, with the 25-year-old splitting the McLarens of Oscar Piastri in third and Lando Norris in fifth.
