Esteban Ocon topped the timesheets in Abu Dhabi during tire and rookie driver testing, followed closely by Pato O’Ward. Unfortunately, George Russell’s 2023 season ended prematurely with a crash, damaging his Mercedes. Ayumu Iwasa also had his debut for AlphaTauri cut short due to a car issue. The testing session experienced delays and stoppages due to a lack of medical helicopter and a water leak on the track. Overall, it was a positive day for Sergio Perez, who finished fourth fastest, and Carlos Sainz, who was just behind him. Fernando Alonso and Jack Doohan also had a solid showing.
