Sure! Here’s a paraphrased version of the article, maintaining the core information while restructuring it into HTML format with headings:

<h2>Anticipation for an Exciting Finale</h2>
<p>We were all eagerly anticipating an exhilarating conclusion to the season. Three drivers—<a href="https://www.motorsport.com/driver/lando-norris/289316/">Lando Norris</a>, <a href="https://www.motorsport.com/driver/max-verstappen/17529/">Max Verstappen</a>, and <a href="https://www.motorsport.com/driver/oscar-piastri/828689/">Oscar Piastri</a>—were still in the running for the Formula 1 championship. It’s been 15 years since we witnessed something like this.</p>
<h2>Formula 1's Opportunity</h2>
<p>This presented Formula 1 with the perfect opportunity to showcase its excitement and drama to a worldwide audience, attracting viewers who might usually skip watching the races.</p>
<h2>Disappointing Outcome</h2>
<p>However, the reality was a disappointing race. Given the context, it was predictable: Abu Dhabi. While the location appears glamorous, what it lacks in sporting drama makes it the first race I’d eliminate from the calendar.</p>
<h2>Pole Position Predictability</h2>
<p>From the outset, it was apparent that Verstappen would dominate. The last driver to win at Yas Marina without starting in pole position was <a href="https://www.motorsport.com/driver/nico-rosberg/2037/">Nico Rosberg</a> back in 2014. It’s incredible—11 consecutive wins from pole; even Monaco can’t boast that sort of predictability.</p>
<h2>Track Rankings</h2>
<p>In a track ranking exercise a few years ago, Abu Dhabi landed in 22nd place out of 24, just ahead of Bahrain and Qatar. Most editors felt it was one of the two least favorable tracks, and I begrudgingly gave it a single point.</p>
<h2>Conclusions on Abu Dhabi</h2>
<p>Yes, I have a bias against Abu Dhabi, but Sunday’s race only reinforced my opinion. Without the title drama, this Grand Prix would have likely been in contention for the most tedious race of the year. Despite all cars finishing smoothly, the track offers little in terms of excitement.</p>
<h2>Final Thoughts</h2>
<p>There have been memorable races here, but they are few and far between. The season finale of 2025, despite involving three title contenders, will not be remembered fondly, especially since Abu Dhabi will remain the final venue until at least 2030. This is disheartening, as there are much more thrilling tracks available. The lack of competition and excitement should alert Formula 1 going forward.</p>
