In pictures: Driver debuts and new faces on final day of F1 2024

The final track action of an F1 season is always a fascinating one as drivers joining teams for the following year get the opportunity to sample the type of car they will be driving, whilst there are always many rookies on show.

For the likes of Carlos Sainz with Williams, Esteban Ocon at Haas, and Nico Hulkenberg with Stake, this was certainly the case in the post-season one-day test at Abu Dhabi’s Yas Marina Circuit. RB’s Yuki Tsunoda, meanwhile, finally got behind the wheel of a Red Bull for the first time in his four-year F1 career.

On the timesheet, Sainz finished second fastest behind his Ferrari-team-mate of the last four seasons, Charles Leclerc.
