In the final practice session of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Oscar Piastri led a comfortable McLaren one-two, with teammate Lando Norris trailing behind. Ferrari, a title rival, was almost half a second off the pace. Conditions in the late afternoon were unrepresentative of the evening qualifying session or Sunday’s twilight race, with temperatures reaching around 104 degrees F. Piastri set the pace on fresh soft tires, beating Norris by 0.193s, while Lewis Hamilton surprised by slotting into third place. Max Verstappen struggled in fourth, with Ferrari’s best efforts led by Carlos Sainz in fifth. Charles Leclerc expressed frustration over team radio for being “nowhere” in terms of pace.
