ABU DHABI -- Lewis Hamilton topped the final practice session ahead of qualifying for Formula One's season finale in Abu Dhabi on Sunday.
With the title sewn up three weeks ago in Mexico, Hamilton is hoping to seal his championship-winning year with a victory this weekend. He was 0.273s clear of Valtteri Bottas in the second Mercedes and 0.530s quicker than the fastest Ferrari of Kimi Raikkonen in third. Sebastian Vettel was fourth, 0.017s off his Ferrari teammate and 0.547s off Hamilton.
All the times come with the caveat that the session took place in the heat of the day, while the fastest times in qualifying will be set once the sun has gone down.
