Sergio Perez and Max Verstappen are both to miss FP1 for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, with Formula E champion
Formula 1 teams have been required to use rookie drivers on at least two occasions during FP1 since 2022. This season, teams faced the challenge of fitting in these outings around six Sprint events and testing for Pirelli’s 2024 rubber. Five teams, including AlphaTauri, elected to field rookie drivers in FP1 in Mexico. AlphaTauri handed Isack Hadjar his debut appearance in an F1 car. Red Bull is planning to sideline both Perez and Verstappen simultaneously to fulfill its rookie obligations at the season finale in Abu Dhabi. Jake Dennis and Isack Hadjar will be the two rookie drivers stepping into the Red Bull cars for FP1 at the Yas Marina Circuit. Dennis is the reigning Formula E champion and has already qualified for an FIA super license.
