Sat Dec 07 13:40:00 UTC 2024: ## McLaren and Ferrari Vie for Constructors’ Championship Title in Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

**Abu Dhabi, UAE** – The Formula 1 season culminates this weekend at the Yas Marina Circuit with the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, from December 6th-8th. While Max Verstappen secured his fourth consecutive drivers’ championship last month in Las Vegas, the constructors’ championship remains fiercely contested between McLaren and Ferrari.

McLaren currently leads by 21 points, but with 44 points still up for grabs, the race for the title is far from over. In the event of a tie, the team with the most wins (currently tied at five each) would claim victory, followed by the number of second-place finishes (McLaren leads 10-4).

The action will be broadcast across BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra, BBC Sounds, and the BBC Sport website and app, with live coverage of practice sessions and the race itself. Fans can also follow the action via smart speakers. The Chequered Flag podcast will offer pre- and post-race analysis. The forecast predicts clear skies and temperatures around 29°C throughout the weekend.

Verstappen, who won the Qatar Grand Prix and last year’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, is not competing for the constructors’ title, making the McLaren-Ferrari battle the focus of this weekend’s event.
