Last race of the season, last race for Fernando Alonso! Also last race for Kimi in a Ferrari and last race for Vandoorne, Ocon and possibly for some others… Both championships may have already been decided but the upcoming Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will be one to remember forever. One could write pages about Alonso’s career, its ups and downs, his wrong choices but also about his relentless passion, his consistency, his dominance! My model thinks he is one of the best of all times and I personally think – although many would disagree on that – he is the best F1 driver ever! “What if” he had driven more capable cars…

Talking about the Abu Dhabi race, the model gives to Hamilton both the pole and the race win. I’d bet this on Ferrari and Vettel if he has any serious intention for next year’s world championship. Red Bulls may struggle in this circuit but Max seems to be always ready when the opportunity arises…
