The F1 driver line-ups for the Abu Dhabi post-season test

The F1 racing season came to a close on Sunday in Abu Dhabi, with the Yas Marina Circuit hosting the final round of the campaign.

However, the teams did not completely pack away after the race as a one-day test takes place on Tuesday, December 10.

The test sees teams run both of their cars – however each is conducting a very different programme. One car, which is driven by an experienced driver, gives Pirelli key tyre data ahead of the new season.

The other car is allocated to rookie drivers, allowing them to build up their experience.

The likes of Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton are not taking part, but both drivers of newly crowned constructors’ champions McLaren are in the Pirelli section of the test, with IndyCar star Pato O’Ward driving the MCL38 in the rookie part.

Elsewhere, Yuki Tsunoda finally gets his chance behind the wheel of a Red Bull F1 car, partnering with Isack Hadjar as Verstappen and Sergio Perez both miss the test.
