In the final Formula One race of the 2017 season, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, several positions in the drivers standings are still up for grabs.

The 20-race 2017 Formula One season will come to a close with the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix at Yas Marina Circuit on Sunday, November 26th. However, while 19 of the 20 races this season have already been completed, there are several positions in both the drivers and constructors standings that are still up for grabs.
