Side note, they did new turns in the track.

They are similar to the previous years but they are new so need a new, similar to the past, balance of the car.

Max will have an 8 old GP engine while Hamilton will have a 3 GP old engine.

[marbet85]

Yes, new lap, predict is -14sec than before time and +3 laps to overall. 

[NeuroticFish]

Max will have an 8 old GP engine while Hamilton will have a 3 GP old engine.

I think it won't be 3 GP old, only 2 GP old. From what I know he used an older engine at Jeddah, hence the new engine has been used only at Sao Paulo and Qatar.
I fear the worse in the next race, really. I can't wait for 2022 though.

Massive crash in F1 between Pourchaire and Fittipaldi and it looks like Fittipaldi just smashed his legs on that accidents. So far , we have little information but we know that both are "ok" as long as we can confirm what OK can mean after that crash.

I'm so sick of this FIA lately as all they want is to make money and trow drivers on the edge. This is not F1 we used to love ...I mean yes , we love a dangerous track but we don't love a mortal track like this one.

To be honest, I also did not think that this new track would be so dangerous.  Moreover, as usual, the design is super professional Tilke.  
However, as I understand it, the accident was provoked by a young Haas racer Nikita Mazepin.  I must say he somehow should not be related to F1 professionals at all.  And Max Schumacher also went off the track.  So this relatively new team is not doing very well at all.

And of course, the clash of the heroes of this season is very tragic.

They're different crashes in different races, although in the same week-end and same track. Please don't confuse them.

Oh yeah, yeah! 
Of course.  I'm talking about the quality of the F1 pilot Mazepin.  I look at the video from his car and still don’t understand, could he press the brake in time, or even such masters as Verstappen and Hamilton would be powerless here   ... 
And, of course, the well-known rule "keep your distance" for a young and inexperienced rider who is not distinguished by outstanding success, unlike, for example, Lando Norris, is not entirely clear.

expect more DNFs in Abu Dhabie as the new improved GP also made changes on Kerbs that there are now similar to the one used at Qatar, so with Pirelli choosing to use the softest type of compound they have unlike in Qatar they chose the hardest and still we seen Bottas and Latifi suffering and not been able to finish, so I guess we gonna see some chaos in Abu Dhabie with title in line and so on.

And Who knows?maybe we slso see this Lmao!

[delfastTions]

Full house expected at Yas Marina Circuit. 
The same number of points as Max and Lewis has not been in F1 history since 1974.   
Of course the fight will be serious.  I hope that Max will not be overly aggressive or else he will lose the title.  If Lewis wins, then a series of his victories over 8 years will also become an F1 record, then that will surpass the record of Michael Schumacher. 
Well, wait, there are only 2 days left.  By the way, this track is made on an artificial island. 
And there is this sand!!! everywhere, so it will be interesting.

[rdbase]

Practise races are going on as we speak and it is looking like Bottas is in the mix for P2.
It should be a thrilling two days before the last and final race of the season.
Get your self strapped in cause it's going to be one to remember.
That is certain!

Very interesting resume after the Friday's practice:

Can't wait for Qualifications! And finally we have a really interesting end of season!
Personally, against all the odds, as I do not want Hamilton to beat Schumacher's record of 7 titles, I bet on RBR.

Actually the win-win is to bet on Hamilton. Then you will be happy either for Max winning, either for you winning the bet

[Koal-84]

It really looks like a bluff by RedBull yesterday, with teamwork RedBull managed to get pole position and with a bigger lead than expected. Perez ahead of Bottas is also a good starting position, Red Bull also has an advantage at the start with the red tyre, will it be an advantage for the whole race? Norris also put in a very good performance, so it will be an exciting race tomorrow.

[Kusman]

Red Bull's strategy to take the pole position was just perfect. Verstappen took advantage of a slipstream thanks to Perez and had an amazing lap by 1:22.109 . He was on soft tyres and Hamilton was on soft ones also. But he was able to have only a lap time like 1:22.480 as his best one. Verstappen has captured the pole position easily but there is a problem when it comes to the race. He has no choice other than starting with soft tyres now. And Hamilton will be on medium ones if I'm not wrong. A really difficult race is waiting for Verstappen tomorrow. But I'm pretty sure that he will do whatever he can for the title.

I know, but I prefer all-or-nothing Double victory will be sweeter.
Max takes pole position, so I am more optimistic.

On the other hand - Kimi: is it only team/car or age issue? The whole season is rather sad for him.

right choice
But I'm leaning more towards Verstappen now and this makes me feel more optimistic in keeping my bets RBR.
Even though Verstappen admits that he is still having problems with machines and cars, I feel that in this race I will feel the jackpot from my bet.

[coinlocket$]

I think Mercedes will have an advantage in the race if they survive at the first turn.

Redbull used a very low-profile rear wing to help them to get the pole position and in the race, they will suffer in a straight line.

Also for the tyres they are on soft while Mercedes are on medium so they need to stop earlier and on this track they should not earn so much time to get a free window for a pit stop.

[alegotardo]

Again I repeat, it's amazing to see an F1 season being decided only on the last circuit. Has it ever happened that two big favorites were tied in the penultimate stage? Whoever simply gets ahead will be the big winner.

I just hope the race isn't decided by one of the riders off track, that would be disappointing. In case the two leave, what are the tiebreakers?

This season is definitely one of the best seasons yet! It reminded me of the 2010 season where the world champion is decided on the last circuit (this is where Seb won and was declared the youngest world champion). What are your thoughts on the qualifying race? Max was able to snatch pole position which will ultimately affect his place on the grid- I just hope that we will have a clean race this last circuit to avoid any mishaps and damage.

Though Max was able to get pole, I still feel that Hamilton will able to push his limits and snatch his 8th championship title.

The last time this happened was 47 years ago. If both riders leave the track (and this will be a legal incident) Verstappen will become champions as he has more victories. There is a great temptation on his part to make such an accident and become a champion, but the FIA has already warned that in this case (if the incident is deliberate), he will be penalized for points..

[xzone]

It will be the most exciting race we've seen in a long time. I'm looking forward to see who will be the champion. I feel as if Verstappen will come first in this race. I think he has been wronged in many races this year and he deserves to be the champion more.
Hamilton is a true legend but I think I will support Verstappen today
