While four times world champion Hamilton's Mercedes team mates can again look forward to healthy year-end bonuses, others are scrapping for crucial points that could swell their 2018 budgets. Toro Rosso, Renault and Haas are just six points apart, with the difference between sixth place and eighth in the constructors' championship equivalent to about $12 million when it comes to revenue distribution. "This race is almost a championship in itself," says Renault Sport F1 head Cyril Abiteboul, whose team are four points behind Toro Rosso and two clear of Ferrari-powered Haas. "I'm going to give it everything in Abu Dhabi," said the Briton, who won his title in Mexico last month but has failed to make the podium in his last two races. For Brazilian Felipe Massa, with Williams, Abu Dhabi will be a final farewell to the sport.
