The end of the season of the sport we love best. The best cars in the world, the best drivers in the world, racing all over the world. And at Abu Dhabi, the final race of 2023, we were treated to what makes Formula 1 so special. Charles Leclerc never quit--and nearly got Ferrari a P2 in the Constructor's. George Russell gave Mercedes the final push it so desperately needed to end on a positive. Rookie Oscar Piastri shined, while the most veteran racer in F1 history, Fernando Alonso, miraculously took P4 ahead of future legends Charles Leclerc, Lando Norris, and Carlos Sainz. We bring you all the analysis, all the rumors, all our predictions, and share the joy.

There's more. Why we predict Daniel Ricciardo won't get promoted back to Red Bull. Why we expect Gunther Steiner will get fired. And why we hope to see a NASCAR takeover of Team Haas.
