The 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand prix is just days away and we can't wait for the live-action to start for the final time this year. Max Verstappen already won the 2024 driver's world championship and we are still waiting for the constructor's title winner.
It will be decided in the Yas Marina circuit where McLaren and Ferrari will have a head-to-head battle for the championship. Ferrari is betting on the Charles Leclerc/Carlos Sainz pair while McLaren is betting on their young drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri.
Max Verstappen and Red Bull will be having a casual weekend and they will also be testing some of the upgrades which could help them to learn more about the car before next season. The other Red Bull driver Sergio Perezwill have one more race before the management, makes the big decision on his stay with the team. The Yas Marina circuit is not the most enjoyable circuit for drivers. Some of the drivers hate the track layout for many obvious reasons.
But it is the final race of a hard and long year for teams and drivers, and after completing the weekend they enjoy their holidays with their loved ones at home or go on vacations. So many drivers come to the race with a good mindset, trying to enjoy the day and win the best possible results for their respective teams.

Verstappen with a Kid
Last year, the same thing happened to Max Verstappen as he already sealed his third world championship even before coming to Abu Dhabi. He was winning the races for fun, so he enjoyed his final weekend without any stress. The heart-touching moment happened at the 2023 Abu Dhabi Grand prix during the national anthem play and the drivers were standing in line at the track.

To show respect drivers will remove their caps before the play starts and Verstappen removed his cap and stood behind a kid. But suddenly he saw the kid forgot to remove his cap and Max himself removed the cap and gave it to him.
After the National Anthem, Max Verstappen was leaving and the kid jumped, touched the Red Bull driver's hand and asked for a high five. The world champion was happy and gave a high five to the kid. The moment was captured during that time which was a heartwarming gesture from the Dutch driver.
