Verstappen vs. Hamilton, Who Will Win?
For the first time since 1974, the top two drivers in the standings are tied heading into the final race. Formula 1 fans, and fans of sports in general, will want to tune in on Sunday morning to watch the finale.
Hamilton is the -200 (bet $200 to profit $100) to win the race and captures the championship. He's won the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix five times in his career, but Verstappen won the latest edition in 2020.
Yas Marina Circuit has undergone some changes this year, many of which people think will favor Mercedes and Hamilton. The degree of several turns have been increased, and other changes have occurred to allow cars to carry more speed in through the corners and on the straightaways.
One outcome that would be disappointing, but certainly possible, is that both top drivers crash out which would result in Verstappen being given the title due to having one more win than Hamilton. If Verstappen is behind late in the race, don't be shocked if he takes Hamilton out given the bad blood between the two. Both have proven they'll do whatever it takes to win.
