I think Lewis Hamilton can be very very satisfied by that first run.

Max Verstappen goes fourth quickest with 1:39.903, but Daniel Ricciardo is half a second slower than his Red Bull team-mate. It might not be enough to get him through to Q3.

Now all that is needed is for something (or someone) to take Rosberg out, I would prefer it to be a technical problem though..
That's a fourth consecutive pole position for Lewis Hamilton. He's driven his heart out in the last few races but even that might not be enough. Remember a top three finish is all Nico Rosberg needs to win the title.

Stonking lap by Lewis, but I think Nico has got it all under control. Only technical problem will prevent him winning the title. #AbuDhabiGP

My hope I Lewis wins this race and if Rosberg wins the championship that Lewis accepts it with genuine good grace. Game on.

Jenson Button is of the track and has a problem.
"We have a failure guys," says the Briton.
He's out. His final race in F1 ends in retirement. So disappointing.
"I don't think we've ever had a failure like this," says Button in a resigned tone.

Fair play to Rosberg, a deserved World Champion. Could be interesting next season as I think he's just shot a bear with an air rifle. Love to be a fly on the wall behind the scenes. Interesting and perfectly fair tactics by Hamilton, all the previous greats would have done the same.
Next year should be interesting, a fresh start with totally different cars which may suit some drivers more than others, as happened with Vettel and this car. I still think a Hamilton is a better out and out racer than Rosberg. Time will tell, roll on next March!
