Since the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Formula 1 has changed a lot. Red Bull and Max Verstappen have dominated every season. Ferrari and Charles Leclerc have proven to be the title contenders. Only one Grand Prix win for Toto Wolff Mercedes and no wins for Lewis Hamilton. Aston Martin and McLaren scripting their comeback and many historic moments for the respective teams.
Currently, Mercedes and Ferrari are fighting for the second spot in the 2024 Constructors Championship, and it has all come down to the final race of the season. Recently, Toto asked if they could finish higher than Ferrari at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. This is what he answered:
The Mercedes Team Principal, Toto Wolff, said,
“We have a proper race director this time.”
Here is the full statement: “We’re going there (Abu Dhabi) on pretty much equal points with Ferrari, we have a proper race director, so that should be fine.”
This statement clearly indicates the 2021 Abu Dhabi Final Lap incident. At that time, both Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton were standing at the same points, and the winner of the race would win the drivers’ championship.
Similarly, the 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will host yet another battle, but this time for second place in the constructor’s championship. Mercedes is standing second in the standings with a four-point lead over Ferrari. It is going to be a hell of a race in Abu Dhabi. Will we have a clean race this time, or will other teams spoil their party?
