HIGHLIGHTS: Watch all the action as Verstappen takes victory in final race of 2020 in Abu Dhabi
This season has been all about the Mercedes team as they have set new records with their incredible run of success, winning all but three races in 2020 coming into the season finale in Abu Dhabi.
But they couldn't sign off the year with a win, as Max Verstappen led from pole to flag to seal only his second victory of the season in a textbook drive for Red Bull.
Behind the leaders, the fight for P3 in the constructors' championship was playing out on track, though Racing Point suffered a huge blow in their chances of keeping it when Sergio Perez pulled over to the side of the track on Lap 10 with a mechanical problem.
In the end fifth and sixth for Lando Norris and Carlos Sainz saw McLaren leapfrog Racing Point to take the coveted P3 slot, as Renault - the other team still in with a chance - took fifth in the standings.
