Abu Dhabi marked not just the end of the 2024 season, but the end of an era in many ways. McLaren ended a 26-year barren run by finally winning the constructors' title again, while Lewis Hamilton saw his record-breaking spell as a Mercedes driver draw to a close, and the F1 Nation crew are here to dissect it all.

Tom Clarkson is joined in the Yas Marina paddock by F1 TV presenter Laura Winter and Sean Kelly, F1's Virtual Statman, to discuss all the events and emotions from the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
