Red Bull technical chief Adrian Newey does not want team orders to get involved in the finale to the season that could see either of the team's drivers crowned world champion. Newey said of the battle for supremacy between Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber: "It is a drivers' championship and that means there shouldn't be team orders." However, he also said: "If one of our drivers is out of it, then I hope he would be magnanimous to help the other."

After rain affected the previous three Grands Prix, the drivers could be forgiven for thinking they would be basking in sunshine in Abu Dhabi for the final weekend of the season. But the rain appears to have followed the F1 teams to the desert with light showers falling on Tuesday and Wednesday - so rare is precipitation in that part of the world that it made the local news. More rain is forecast over the weekend, although race day looks sunny.

Rain in Abu Dhabi? wow

Last race of the season, but I think I’ll post this little ‘heads up’ advice again.

formula1.com allows you to view in real time the official timing monitor (follow the ‘live timing’ link - these days you have to register first, but it’s still free).

I like to have this screen up on my laptop while watching the sessions on a second monitor (or TV or whatever you’re using). It also provides a load of other information. Just explore it a bit. Great to have the info for the full field when the TV feed only shows bits and pieces (the front runners, mostly).

This Sunday I think I’ll go and watch the race on a big screen at a local sports bar with a few friends, though.
