    • Sports

Anyone for Denny's? Because Lewis Hamilton just ordered a Grand Slam! Dre, RJ, King and Cam return for a 2-part show on the final F1 weekend of the year! In Part 1, all the news at the top, as well as an in-depth (short) review of another stale Season Finale at Abu Dhabi, as Lewis Hamilton dominated, and Charles Leclerc had a rather embarrassing admin error...

...Check back soon for Part 2, as we review the entire F1 season!

THE NEWS
- F1: Nicholas Latifi's official Williams appointment officially official, for sure

- FIA (FINA-FUCKIN-LLY) makes Formula E a world championship
- FIA inducts Fernando Alonso into its hall of fame again (and every other WEC premier class champion)
- Peugeot picks its partner - Swiss-based Rebellion Racing!
- IndyCar: IT'S THE COYNE SWEEPSTAKES! Hinch, SSC, and Palou!

FORMULA 1 ABU DHABI GP

FORMULA 2 YAS MARINA
- The Feature: Sergio Sette Camara takes pole, rides on to come-from-behind victory ahead of alternate strategists Matsushita & Zhou
