F1: Valtteri Bottas Wins Final Race Of The Season In Abu Dhabi
F1: Valtteri Bottas Wins Abu Dhabi GP.
Mercedes driver Valtteri Bottas won the Formula One Abu Dhabi Grand Prix from his teammate and Drivers' Championship winner Lewis Hamilton. Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen from Ferrari were third and fourth respectively.
Bottas led from start to finish having secured the pole position with a lap record on Saturday. World champion Hamilton was content with the second place.
Both Mercedes drivers finished comfortably ahead of Vettel and Raikkonen. Ferrari has a lot of work to do if they are to stop their rivals from winning yet another Constructors' Championship next year.
"It is a really important win for me after having a pretty difficult start to the second half of the year," Bottas said. "This weekend, pole and win, couldn't be happier to end the season like this.

"Again, congratulations to Lewis for the title and congrats to Sebastian for second in the championship. I'm third this year and hopefully better next year."
Red Bull driver Max Verstappen finished fifth while his teammate Ricciardo's retirement saw him fall a place to fifth in the standings.
Hamilton secured the world title in Mexico two races ago when he ended Vettel's hope of winning the title for the first time with Ferrari.
