The grid for Sunday is set.
In the championship-deciding Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, it will be Max Verstappen starting from pole position, his 10th pole of the season — and the most important of the year.
In a twist, Red Bull decided to enter Q2 with soft-compound tires on their car, leading to Verstappen taking the top time in the session. That'll be a differing strategy from Mercedes, who will be starting the race on the mediums.

In Q3, Verstappen took a full half-second over Hamilton, thanks in part to a tow from teammate Sergio Perez, who finishes fourth in qualifying. Surprisingly, Hamilton's teammate, Valtteri Bottas, didn't finish in the top-five in qualifying, leaving Mercedes in a small pickle entering Sunday.
Here's how they'll line up in the final race on Sunday:
