When is the F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and how can I watch it?

It’s the final round of the 2018 Formula 1 world championship and despite both drivers’ and constructors’ titles being wrapped up there is still plenty to fight for and some emotional goodbyes.

From Fernando Alonso’s final F1 race to the last races at their respective teams for Daniel Ricciardo, Kimi Raikkonen, Charles Leclerc, Pierre Gasly, Carlos Sainz – plus additional goodbyes (for now) for Marcus Ericsson and Stoffel Vandoorne – it is a changing of the guard in Abu Dhabi.
