It was a good finish to an interesting 2010 Formula One World Championship at the final race of the season in Abu Dhabi. The MERCEDES GP PETRONAS Formula One team has finished their first season in fourth place overall in the Constructors' championship. A fourth place finish for Nico Rosberg has ensured a 7th place finish in the drivers' standing. Unfortunately, it was a non-finish for Michael Schumacher who was involved in an accident on the first lap. Michael wraps up his comeback season in 9th overall in the drivers' standing.
Congratulations to the Red Bull Racing team for taking the Constructors' Championship and to Sebastian Vettel for claiming his first drivers' championship title. Race Report
