Fantasy Formula 1 - Abu Dhabi GP Preview
7:10 AM ET on 11/24/15 by Nathan Susanto
The 2015 Formula 1 season concludes this weekend with round 19, the Abu Dhabi GP. Lewis Hamilton wrapped up the title in October but since then Nico Rosberg has dominated, notching two poles and victories. Rosberg will hope to finish the year on a high, though he last won three consecutive races when he ended his 2002 Formula BMW ADAC campaign with four wins in a row.

At the 2014 F1 season finale, Nico Rosberg stormed to pole but on race day Lewis Hamilton had a lightning start. Hamilton looked calm in front, but in stark contrast Rosberg's day unraveled when his ERS failed. His predicament got so bad that Rosberg's engineer told him to retire, but the Mercedes pilot wanted to drive to the finish. Hamilton met the checkered flag first to clinch the world title in style, with Williams' Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas completing the podium. Rosberg crossed the line in 14th.

Remember to make your game picks in the 2015 Fantasy Formula 1 thread before the deadline of Saturday, November 28th at 8 AM ET, when qualifying begins. Here we run down some Abu Dhabi GP facts and season stats.

Fantasy Formula 1 - Brazilian GP Preview
4:11 PM ET on 11/9/15 by Nathan Susanto
The 2015 Formula 1 season reaches its penultimate event, with the Brazilian GP taking place this weekend. Lewis Hamilton might have stormed to the title but Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg came out on top last time out by securing the Mexican GP after a strong weekend. Rosberg will hope his success continues at Interlagos, a venue which brought him fond memories 12 months ago.

Nico Rosberg claimed pole at Interlagos in 2014 by a narrow margin and it was nip and tuck between him and Lewis Hamilton on race day. Rosberg held the slight advantage but when the leader pitted for a second time Hamilton saw an opportunity to up the pace. However, on lap 28 Hamilton pushed too hard and spun off, handing the advantage back to Rosberg. Hamilton reeled the lead Silver Arrow in but couldn't deny Rosberg victory. Felipe Massa was a distant third.
