Formula 1 2016 live stream: Start time, TV schedule and starting grid for Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

The final race of the 2016 Formula 1 season is here, and once again it’s a Mercedes lockout of the front row. Mercedes has already claimed the Constructors Championship, but the Drivers Championship is still up for grabs between Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg, both Mercedes teammates.

Sunday’s race will take place at the Yas Marina Circuit from Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. The race will be broadcast by NBCSN in the United States, with the race set to begin at 8 a.m. ET. A live stream of the race will be available online at NBC Sports.

Hamilton qualified ahead of Rosberg, and behind him are the drivers who Hamilton will need to have a big day if he wants to win the title. All Rosberg has to do is finish third or better to be guaranteed the Drivers Championship regardless of where Hamilton finishes. If Hamilton finishes lower then there are a few circumstances in which he can win.

But ultimately, things are looking much better for Rosberg. The Mercedes cars are better than the rest of the pack and Yas Marina is not a particularly difficult or dangerous circuit. Hamilton may need to employ a strategy of trying to back up Rosberg into the Red Bull or Ferrari cars behind him.

Daniel Ricciardo of Red Bull qualified in third, with Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel of Ferrari behind him. Max Verstappen, also of Red Bull, is just behind the two Ferrari cars. The rest of the top 10 includes Nico Hulkenberg and Sergio Perez of Force India, Fernando Alonso of McLaren and Felipe Massa of Williams. Jenson Button of McLaren will be starting in 12th.

That’s notable because this is the last Formula 1 race for both Massa and Button. Both have found long-term success in the sport so their departures are definitely big news. But both will struggle to find the pace required to score points on Sunday.
