So what have you been watching most from the 22-race campaign on the Sky Sports website and app this year? Scroll down for the top-10 most-viewed F1 clips from Bahrain to Abu Dhabi…
1. Zhou's terrifying crash as he flips over safety barriers
Zhou Guanyu was involved in one of F1's scariest accidents in July's British GP as his car was flipped over by contact at the start of the race, before hurtling through the gravel and then launching over the tyre barriers. It was then trapped in a small gap in front of the catch fencing and spectators. Thankfully, and incredibly, the Chinese rookie cleared of any significant injuries.
2. Verstappen and Norris' Japanese GP near-miss
Max Verstappen and Lando Norris were very nearly involved in a huge crash in Suzuka qualifying as Verstappen unintentionally moved towards Norris on a slow lap while the McLaren driver was overtaking. Verstappen escaped a penalty, held onto pole, and would clinch the title that weekend.
