While the drivers' and teams' championships are long decided, there is a finely poised battle between Ferrari and Mercedes for best-of-the-rest spot that could form an important sub-plot this weekend. 

Only four points separate the two powerhouse squads, with a maximum of 26 on offer in Abu Dhabi.
