After Red Bull confirmed a historic one-two result in the world championship drivers' standings at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, Mercedes battled in Abu Dhabi to take the runners-up spot in the contructors' championship.
It was a ferocious tactical battle at Yas Marina with P2 swaying between Mercedes and Ferrari throughout.

And it was the Aston Martin man who managed to take fourth spot after finishing P7 - as Sainz could not finish in the points on what was a disappointing weekend for Alonso's fellow Spaniard.
Let's look at how the final race of the season impacted the final championship standings.
