Formula 1's 2025 season hurtles toward its dramatic close this weekend in Yas Marina, with a nail-biting three-way title showdown. Lando Norris leads Max Verstappen by 12 points and Oscar Piastri by 16 –a mere podium could crown the McLaren ace champion amid high-stakes intrigue.

Check out our selection of pictures from media day at the Abu Dhabi GP.
