Live F1 updates, timing, and news | Stay informed during FP2 of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
Free Practice 2 for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is a crucial session for drivers to prepare for qualifying and the race. It takes place in the same twilight/night conditions as the actual sessions, unlike FP1 and FP3 which are held during the day. Therefore, FP2 focuses more on finding the right car balance rather than simulating race pace due to the temperature changes. In FP1, George Russell from Mercedes was the fastest, but there were also 10 rookie drivers participating. Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen let other drivers, Frederik Vesti and Jake Dennis, respectively, take their cars to meet the requirement for young driver slots. They will be back for FP2. Our dedicated live blog and live timing hub will keep you updated with the latest developments during FP2 in Abu Dhabi. You can easily switch between the two via the tabs provided.
