ABU DHABI (Reuters) - Red Bull's Max Verstappen was fastest in first practice for the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on Friday but five times Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton made sure everyone knew who was number one.

With both titles already won by Mercedes for the fifth year in a row, Sunday's race should be a no-holds barred battle for victory without team orders or other considerations.
