369.5 points.
Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen are tied as we come into the final F1 Grand Prix of 2021.
Whoever finishes higher in Abu Dhabi will win the World Championship.
Will we see Hamilton claim a record eighth title, or will we witness Verstappen win his first?
Here is everything you need to know ahead of the most-anticipated race of the year.
Only one can win
The season-long duel between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton has been one for the ages.
It has been such a memorable title battle, with a number of flashpoints - the Silverstone crash, the Monza collision, and the Saudi Arabia overtaking drama.
Fans have been treated to an intense, emotional, and tight championship race, which poetically culminates in a final race showdown.
Verstappen appeared to be the favourite to win at the midway point of the season, but Hamilton has shown his professionalism and experience since then, clawing back to be level on points.
It is anyone's guess who takes out the title this season.
Sunday's qualifying (AEDT) will be crucial - and even that is an understatement.
Any advantage gained over your opponent before the final race will be critical, with neither driver expected to let up.
Verstappen was fastest in FP1 yesterday, whilst Hamilton topped the pack in FP2.
Even with the vast amount of data available, it is virtually impossible to predict which driver will come out on top.
Regardless of the final result, this race will be looked back upon as an iconic title decider.
What a treat.
New kerbs pose questions
Pirelli F1 boss Mario Isola admitted that he has some concerns regarding the new kerbs at the Yas Marina track.
Kerbs in Abu Dhabi have been changed recently. Similar to the Qatar kerbs. Although this may not have been known to Pirelli. Possible issues.😳#f1 #AbuDhabiGP pic.twitter.com/ES2m1NbGfq

Changes to some corners at the circuit have been received well, but the unique, jagged design of the kerbs has raised some eyebrows.
This season has shown us that overuse of the kerbs during a race does a car's tyres no favours, and that impact could be magnified this weekend.
There were no major problems during the first two practice sessions, but the true impact of a circuit on a car is only seen in a race.
Kimi's last race
Kimi Räikkönen will race for the final time in F1 this weekend.
Renowned for being intensely quiet and nonchalant, the 42-year-old is likely enjoying all the attention being put on the duelling championship leaders Verstappen and Hamilton.
After making his debut in 2001, 'The Iceman' has claimed 21 wins and 103 podiums, with his career spent at Sauber, McLaren, Ferrari, Lotus, and Alfa Romeo.
He famously won the 2007 World Championship with Ferrari.
Alfa Romeo put this message (below) on his car for the race this weekend, gently mocking the Finn's personality.

He then proceeded to show his appreciation by driving into the wall during a practice session on Friday...
Räikkönen has described racing in F1 as 'more like a hobby', but Formula 1 fans around the world will undoubtedly miss watching him do his hobby.
Driver merry-go-round
The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will mark the last race for a variety of other drivers, who are moving to different teams or competitions.
Lewis Hamilton's teammate Valtteri Bottas will be leaving Mercedes and moving to the Alfa Romeo team in 2022.
The Finn has won ten races since joining the Silver Arrows in 2017.
Replacing Bottas will be British young gun George Russell, who currently drives for Williams.
The 23-year-old notably drove for Mercedes in 2020 when he replaced a COVID-19-diagnosed Hamilton, but suffered a tyre puncture in pursuit of his first-ever F1 victory.
Williams has selected Alex Albon as his replacement for 2022, with the former Red Bull driver to make a return to F1 following a one-year hiatus.
Alfa Romeo has also opted to not renew the contract of Antonio Giovinazzi, bringing in Chinese rookie Guanyu Zhou to take his seat.
Formula E team Dragon Penske Autosport has signed the Italian for the upcoming 2021/22 season.
