Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the world championship title decider in Abu Dhabi as Nico Rosberg starts from pole position from teammate Lewis Hamilton. Lights out at 13.00 GMT.

And Lewis Hamilton takes the chequered flag to take his second world title! He becomes the first British driver in over 40 years to win multiple world titles. What a performance. Thanks for being with us throughout this exciting 2014 season and well done to both Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg for making it so!

FINAL LAP! Great spirit from Rosberg. He’s told to box as there are too many problems with the car. He responds by saying he wants to drive to the end. What a fighter and a great sportsman.

@MercedesAMGF1"@nico_rosberg is no longer a threat @LewisHamilton - bring it home" #AbuDhabiGP#F1#DesertDuel

Massa takes another second out of Hamilton’s lead and he could be right on his gearbox by the finish... Looks like Rosberg could be retiring.

Rosberg limping on, back down in 13th. Massa gaining on Hamilton, now 3.7 seconds behind.

Rosberg going VERY slowly. Looks like it could be a sad end.

Daniel Ricciardo sets the fastest lap as he tries to close on Bottas in third. May be too little too late.

FIVE LAPS TO GO! Hamilton leads by 6.2s from Massa. Bottas third. Rosberg out of it in 8th.

@MercedesAMGF16.8secs the gap now - 6 laps to go - oh my giddy aunt will you please-just-stop-doing-this-to-us!!!! #AbuDhabiGP#F1#Desert duel

FIVE LAPS TO GO! Hamilton closing on a deserved second world title but Massa fighting for the race victory. What an exciting finish.

A miserable race for Ferrari. Alonso 10th, Raikkonen 12th. Hamilton’s lead down to 6.8s!!

@WilliamsRacingFelipe told there is no threat from behind so he is just racing to the finish! #AbuDhabiGP

Massa now just over eight seconds behind. This could be VERY close by the finish. Hamilton will want to take this title in style but how much is he willing to risk?

Massa takes another second out of Hamilton’s lead and is really going for it! The gap 9.3s.

@MercedesAMGF1"Where can I finish guys? Where can I finish?" If @nico_rosberg is going down, he's going down fighting! Not one ounce of quit here!! #F1

Rosberg still being told he can possibly finish P5, which is what he needs if Hamilton retires. Neither looks likely, however.

@MercedesAMGF1 @LewisHamilton DOES have the pace to win this! ANOTHER fastest lap!! As if there was any doubt!!! #AbuDhabiGP#F1#DesertDuel

@WilliamsRacingOptions for Felipe! Great stop from the boys and he is back on track! #AbuDhabiGP

TEN LAPS REMAINING! And Lewis Hamilton regains the lead as Massa bolts on a second set of super softs. Hamilton leads by 10.896 seconds.

Rosberg is now down to seventh as Hamilton tells his team not to turn up the car. If Hamilton retires, Rosberg needs to finish fifth. Massa pits!
