Lewis Hamilton took yet another pole position on Saturday at the Yas Marina Circuit, with his teammate Valtteri Bottas making it an all Mercedes front row for the start of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. 

Behind them lie the two Ferraris who will be hoping to end the season on a high and take its first final round win since 2008. On the third row, the two Red Bulls will line up with Max Verstappen being the only driver from the top six starting on the hyper soft tyre.
