F1’s Abu Dhabi post-season test: who is driving and more
The post-season test in Abu Dhabi is the final track action for the Formula 1 season, taking place two days after the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Teams use this test to gather additional knowledge and data from their cars before they are stored away. Not all 20 F1 drivers participate, as teams designate one car for a young driver with limited Grand Prix experience. In previous years, many F2 drivers or those about to enter F1 have taken part. The other car is used for Pirelli tyre testing, allowing F1 to learn about different compounds and make improvements for the following season. The post-season test is important for drivers joining new teams, as it gives them an opportunity to familiarize themselves with their new surroundings.
