The Formula 1 season is now over, even if the last act is still missing. After Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, held yesterday at Yas Marina, the cars are ready to get back on track for the last, effective, round of the season.
Back on track, but with the Young drivers
In fact, today tests are scheduled in which we will see the young drivers of the teams at work, but not only. If on the one hand space will be given to young people, on the second car instead we will find the starting drivers, who will aim to use the Pirelli 2023 tires without a pre-set work programme. It will therefore be a very interesting day also for the tire supplier company, to then make an appointment for the next season, scheduled for March 5th.
Young driver, that's who will be there
As mentioned, during the day great space will be given to the Young drivers... but who will we see on the track? Among the certainties you have to look at home Red Bull which will allow Liam Lawson a few more laps. In home Ferrari instead you will give space, just like in FP1 in Abu Dhabi, to Robert Shwartzman. Old faces in too Alpine, with Doohan who has now officially taken the place of Piastri, while McLaren e Alfa Romeor confirm the riders seen during FP1 during the season: O'Word will in fact drive the MCL36, while Pourchaire will drive the Alfa Romeo. Space also for the F2 champion Drugovich who of course will drive the Aston Martin.
There are also surprises
However, there is no shortage of news coming from home Mercedes. The Brackley stable indeed will take to the track with Frederik Vesti. A choice clearly thinking about the future, as well as that of AlphaTauri and Williams who are already focusing on 2023. In fact, the seat on the two cars will be occupied by the two drivers present on the next starting grid: Nyck De Vries to drive the AlphaTauri, while freshly licensed Logan Sargeant to drive the Williams.
All ready for tomorrow
So this is the list of drivers who will be involved in the Abu Dhabi tests. The 2022 season is not over yet, even if the attention for 2023 is always greater.
