Verstappen made a good getaway when the lights went out and easily took the lead in front of Mercedes' Valtteri Bottas (P2) and Lewis Hamilton (P3). 

Verstappen was comfortable in the lead, with Hamilton a further 3.5s behind, 2.6s ahead of Bottas. 

After a race incident involving Racing Point's, Sergio Perez with a power unit issue called for an initial Virtual Safety Car (VSC) became a full safety car as marshals failed to recover the car and the top nine pitted with all taking on hard tire compounds during the caution. 

Verstappen re-joined in the lead ahead of Bottas and Hamilton. 

Verstappen continued to develop his comfort zone. 

And Verstappen powered across the line after fifty laps leading the race to take his and the team's second victory of the year after winning the 70th Anniversary Grand Prix early in the season. This is the fourth win for the team in Abu Dhabi, the first since 2013 and our 64th overall victory.

Post-race, the race winner comments, "

It has been a very enjoyable two days which we didn’t really expect coming into the weekend. Being on pole was already great but to win here is a perfect end to the season for us all. The tyre management was good and the car had a nice balance which made it very enjoyable to drive. I expected a very tough fight today but I think we managed everything very well and there was never really a moment where I felt under pressure which is a pretty good feeling." 
 
And continues, "To finish the year off like this I'm of course very happy with and I just hope we can start next season competitively, so we can be there right from the start, as we want to be able to try and fight for the championship but for that we need to start strong. Everyone in the Team and at Honda has worked so hard the whole year to improve the car and this is a really good boost going into the winter and I hope everyone gets to celebrate tonight. "
