Red Bull came under the spotlight after installing a new power unit on the Dutchman’s RB21 between qualifying and the Brazilian Grand Prix. It was also fitted with a used engine ahead of the Qatar GP, avoiding any penalties since the components had been used previously.

When asked which engine he would use for the final weekend of the season, the Dutchman preferred to keep an air of mystery: “Maybe (I will) use the fifth one… or the fourth. They all run. We'll see, it doesn't matter, they all work. So that's the most important.”

The Dutchman heads into Yas Marina sitting second in the championship after his Qatar win, still 12 points behind Norris, meaning that if he wins, Norris has to finish fourth or lower to be crowned champion.

As the Abu Dhabi season finale approaches, the three drivers in contention for the championship have opened up about the pressure they face this weekend.

Of the three, Norris is under the most pressure. Even with a solid points lead, he has the most to lose, especially compared to his teammate, who sits 16 points behind in the championship.

Verstappen is in the middle, following his Qatar victory and McLaren’s strategic mishap. He trails Norris by 12 points but maintains a four-point cushion over Piastri. Read their full insights here.
