How pole is awarded
Penalties can make the official pole differ from the fastest qualifier. In 2021 Sprint weekends, pole was awarded through the Sprint; from 2022 it comes from Grand Prix qualifying.

Year2010Memorable racesVettel leads when it matters
Vettel arrived at the 2010 finale without leading the standings and left as champion. He won while Alonso, trapped behind Petrov after Ferrari’s strategy call, could not score enough. This happened on Yas Marina’s original configuration, not the route revised for 2021. Its slow sequences and overtaking difficulties formed part of the championship story.
Year2021Memorable racesThe final lap decides the title
Hamilton and Verstappen reached Abu Dhabi in 2021 level on points. Mercedes took the lead at the start and appeared in control until Latifi's crash brought out a late Safety Car. Verstappen fitted new soft tyres; Hamilton stayed out on worn rubber. After a restart procedure that prompted controversy and later regulatory changes, the championship resumed for one lap. Verstappen attacked at Turn 5, took the lead and won both race and title. Yas Marina became the most disputed point of a season-long rivalry. The official result does not complete the account: the on-track pass must be distinguished from the procedural decisions that created the final confrontation.
