FORMULA 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix FOOTBALL Manchester City v Liverpool

Sunday, Sky F1, 11.30am (start 1pm); highlights, Channel 4, 5.30pm

The curtain comes down on the season with possibly the worst Grand Prix on the calendar – at the Yas Marina Circuit, which resembles the car park of a suburban shopping centre. Everyone who is not Max Verstappen will be glad to see its long straights and blocky corners, because, at last, his pulverizing, merciless dominance is brought to an end – for this year at least. The Dutchman’s victory in

Las Vegas took his total to 18 victories this season, with one more on the horizon. Remarkably, Mercedes are positioned to finish second in the Constructors’ Championship, with Ferrari suffering a dismal end to the season following some early promise. Lewis Hamilton has again proved the consummate performer in a sub-par vehicle. Alongside George Russell, he needs to outperform Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz to protect Mercedes’ four point lead.
