- On Dec 6, Max Verstappen clinched pole for the title-deciding Abu Dhabi Grand Prix at Yas Marina Circuit, with Lando Norris second and Oscar Piastri third, setting up Sunday’s finale.
- Benefiting from track conditions and tyre strategy, Verstappen produced two strong Q3 laps and received an aerodynamic tow from Yuki Tsunoda, helping secure pole position.
- Verstappen's lap of 1 minute, 22.207 seconds, finished 0.201 seconds ahead of Norris and 0.230 seconds in front of Piastri in Q3.
- Norris can clinch the title with a podium in Dec 7's race, while Verstappen must win and hope Norris finishes fourth or lower; Piastri needs Norris outside the top five if he wins.
- Historically at Yas Marina Circuit, pole position has proven decisive as every winner since 2015 started first; Lewis Hamilton crashed in practice and was eliminated in Q1 for a third straight race.
