By Alan Baldwin

LONDON, Nov 17 (Reuters) - Mercedes have won both 決まり文句/製法 One 肩書を与えるs already, and Red Bull are sure of second place, but Sunday's season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will be a last roll of the dice for some of those behind them.

With an 前例のない 二塁打 points on 申し込む/申し出, 'Abu 二塁打' has the 力/強力にする to bring joy and despair in equal 手段 and not just for Mercedes 競争相手s 吊りくさび Hamilton and Nico Rosberg.

For tail-enders Caterham, in 行政 and 直面するing 終結 unless they can find a 買い手, the day-to-night race at Yas Marina could literally be a last 爆破 before 不明瞭 (海,煙などが)飲み込むs their hopes.

They are hoping, even if any sort of points looks out of reach, to show they are a team that deserves 存在 saved from the scrapheap after the 失敗 last month of 競争相手s Marussia.

Neither team raced in the last two grands prix, with Caterham returning only after a (人が)群がる-基金ing 演習 to raise 十分な 基金s to get them 支援する on the starting grid.

"We knew that the best way to keep this team alive and attract possible 買い手s was to show that it's still a racing team and be in Abu Dhabi for the finale," said 行政官/管理者 Finbarr O'Connell.

"By racing in Abu Dhabi the team will be showcasing itself as a live and 機能(する)/行事ing team that deserves to continue into 2015 and beyond."

スイスの-based Sauber, o ne of the sport's oldest teams after 多重の 支持する/優勝者s Ferrari, McLaren and Williams, need a 10th place to 突き破る off their first (選挙などの)運動をする without a 得点する/非難する/20ing finish.

The team that (機の)カム second in the 選手権 as recently as 2007 when owned by BMW has fallen on hard times but can still 海難救助 some pride in a season of struggle on and off the 跡をつける.

"It's going to be 極端に 堅い," said 主要な/長/主犯 Monisha Kaltenborn after Mexican Esteban Gutierrez and Germany's Adrian Sutil, both without seats for next season, drew yet another blank in Brazil.

Ahead of them, Lotus would need their best result of the season to 精密検査する Toro Rosso for eighth place while 軍隊 India would 要求する something pretty みごたえのある to (不足などを)補う 34 points and get 支援する in 前線 of fifth placed McLaren.

Williams are looking good for third place, their highest 全体にわたる placing since 2003, but Ferrari still have a chance of 追いつくing them if they can repeat their Hungary 運ぶ/漁獲高 of 26 正規の/正選手 points. (Editing by Amlan Chakraborty)
