GP ABU DHABI | FREE 1
The first free sessions begin! The first cars passed the track
10:32Drivers who have already made it in Mexico will also ride in the cars: the Franco-Algerian
Isack Hadjar will enter a Red Bull; the Danish Frederick Vesti, in a Mercedes; the Australian Jack Doohan, for his part, with Alpine; Frenchman Theo Pourchaire will return to Alfa Romeo, and British Oliver Bearman will be at Haas. The Brazilian will do the same.
Felipe Drugovicwho had already driven an Aston Martin at Monza, and the Russian
Robert Schwartzmann (Ferrari), reserve driver of the Italian team
10:24But the attractions of this Abu Dhabi GP start today with the first free practice, where
Many young drivers will have the opportunity to test the cars of the stars of the championship
Verstappen’s, for example, is occupied by the British Jack DennisFormula E champion, while the Mexican Pato O’Ward will ride in a McLaren car and the British Zak O’Sullivan, in a Williams
10:21The same thing happens in the fight for the fourth and fifth positions:
The McLarens of Norris and the Australian Óscar Piastri accumulated 284 points for the excellent second part of the championship for the team and, in particular, for the British, while Aston Martin, with the Asturian and the Canadian Lance Stroll, a total of 273
10:16Something similar happens in the constructors’ championship. Having decided the first position for months, Mercedes and Ferrari will fight in Abu Dhabi for second place, a position that the German team now has – with 392 points – with the Italian team, with 388, though that could all change in the final race. Furthermore, in the second half of the championship the team consisting of Leclerc and Sainz
has improved its performance compared to the first part of the championship and gradually cut points from the team of Hamilton and the British George Russell.
10:16But this battle for fourth place in the drivers’ world championship is not just between the two Spaniards:
They are also behind, lurking, the British Lando Norris (McLaren), with 195 pointsand the Monegasque Charles Leclerc (Ferrari), with 188 points after his second place in the last Las Vegas GP
10:12Carlos Sainz and Fernando Alonso, who both have 200 points, will fight for fourth place in the championship.
The two-time world champion has been doing less with his carespecially since it was not accompanied by Aston Martin’s improvements, which made Alonso see on the track how Mercedes, Ferrari or even McLaren overtook Lawrence Stroll’s team
However, five podiums in the first six races served to climb to the top of the classification and the Asturian’s magic behind the wheel allowed him to reach the final race of the year with a chance to be fourth, as he was in that position tied on 200 points with Sainz
10:10The details that remain to be decided will encourage many to continue adding points so that their respective teams
add a ‘small’ economic pinch for 2024
Furthermore, facing this final race it remains to be seen if anyone is capable of defeating ‘Mad Max’whose courage to continue chasing records in the form of fastest laps, pole positions and victories seems endless, with the only mole being his fifth position in Singapore
10:02¡
Good morning! We started live the first free training sessions of
Abu Dhabi GP, final round of the championship of the Formula 1 world in 2023, a season marked by the immense dominance of Max Verstappen and the Red Bull team
Although the title has been decided for several weeks, the race has many attractions, such as
the battle to occupy the second to fifth positions of the constructors’ championship
