We look ahead to what should be a thrilling Formula 1 title-deciding Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in the latest episode of The Race F1 Podcast.

Mark Hughes and Scott Mitchell join Edd Straw to attempt to pick a pre-race favourite for the race at Yas Marina, and whether the track configuration and conditions should favour Mercedes or Red Bull.

There’s a look at the approaches of title rivals Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton, as well as the inevitable discussion on the possibility that the title could be decided by a collision between the pair.
