The 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix was a dramatic conclusion to the Formula One season, marked by pivotal moments and intense rivalries. Lando Norris led McLaren to their first Constructors' Championship in 26 years with a commanding victory, while teammate Oscar Piastri's collision with Max Verstappen on the opening lap added to the race's tension. Verstappen, penalized 10 seconds for the incident, expressed his frustration over team radio, labeling the stewards as "stupid idiots."

Piastri, despite the setback, managed to finish tenth, contributing to McLaren's season-long resurgence.
The race also highlighted intra-team dynamics, notably at Mercedes, where Lewis Hamilton, in his final race before moving to Ferrari, showcased his skill by advancing from 16th to finish fourth, outperforming teammate George Russell, who finished fifth.
At Red Bull, Sergio Pérez's early retirement due to a collision capped a challenging season, intensifying discussions about his future with the team. Meanwhile, Alpine's decision to replace Esteban Ocon with rookie Jack Doohan, who qualified last, raised questions about the team's strategic direction and treatment of Ocon.
