Lewis Hamilton has one more chance to avoid his first Formula One season without a victory, and it comes on Sunday in the place where he suffered one of the biggest blows of his career just a year ago.

Hamilton's return to Abu Dhabi — where in 2021 he missed a record eighth title after a controversial late change to the safety car procedure while he was leading — comes with an opportunity to end 2022 on a high.

The prospects look a lot brighter with Mercedes ending its season-long winless streak with George Russell's breakthrough win in Brazil last weekend.
