Max Verstappen ended a frustrating season for Red Bull on a high with victory in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The Dutchman took his second win of the year ahead of Mercedes’ Valtteri Bottas and Lewis Hamilton, who were unable to challenge in second and third. McLaren took third in the constructors’ championship as Lando Norris and Carlos Sainz took fifth and sixth. Red Bull’s Alexander Albon was fourth, 20 seconds behind team-mate Verstappen but close enough to the Mercedes to block any adventurous strategy choices, as the team weighs up whether to retain the British-Thai driver for 2021. Bottas could not keep pace with Verstappen and slowly dropped back from the Red Bull.
