Watch Abu Dhabi Grand Prix live stream 2025
Lando Norris still has the driver's title in his grasp, but we've seen so many preposterous developments over recent weeks – what's one more? Max Verstappen was 101 points behind then-leader Oscar Piastri and 92 points off Norris just nine race weekends ago. Heading into the season finale, he's four clear of Piastri and 12 behind Norris, and McLaren are crumbling. We'll show how to watch Abu Dhabi Grand Prix live streams from anywhere in the world, including free options.

Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2025: preview
Do you remember where you were four years ago? This would be every bit as sensational as Abu Dhabi 2021, largely because there wouldn't have even been a semblance of a title battle – not one involving Verstappen, anyway – if McLaren hadn't kept devising inventive new ways of committing self-sabotage.
The infamous pit-stop debacle in Monza completely derailed Piastri's season, but the Australian looked like his old self again in Qatar last week, only to have his race wrecked by a bizarre and disastrous strategy call. And a fortnight ago, both Norris and Piastri were disqualified in Las Vegas when post-race inspections found issues with their cars.
Taken in isolation, all four gaffes are tremendous embarrassments. To commit all of these errors in such a short space of time and with a first drivers' championship since 2008 on the line, however, is beyond comprehension. Although Norris has been solid of late, he tends to perform far better as the hunter than as the hunted.
