• Max Verstappen on front row ahead of Leclerc and Vettel
Lewis Hamilton took pole position for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, the final meeting of the 2019 season. With a dominant lap of the Yas Marina circuit the British driver beat his Mercedes teammate, Valtteri Bottas, into second place but the Finn will start from the back of the grid having taken a new engine. Max Verstappen was third for Red Bull with his teammate, Alexander Albon, in sixth. Charles Leclerc was fourth for Ferrari in front of his teammate, Sebastian Vettel.
Seeing out the season in style, Hamilton looked in calm control throughout his final qualifying session to take his first pole for nine races. The Mercedes has looked strong throughout and on Saturday Hamilton ensured he exploited it to perfection.
