Even though the racing is over, the action on the track isn’t over yet.PlanetF1 is streaming the post-season test live from Abu Dhabi to bring you the most recent information.
On Tuesday, the final day of F1 racing on the track in 2022, two tests will be running simultaneously at Yas Marina.
For Pirelli tyre testing, each team provides one car, which is driven by experienced newcomers or regular racers.
The teams are also performing a Young Driver Test in the second vehicle, giving their junior drivers a chance to shine.
1420:There is still no sign of the other four drivers.Albon, Pourchaire, Piastri, Hulkenberg, and Sargeant are also pounding around at the moment, as is Norris.
1400:We have yet to see our new afternoon participants join in, despite the fact that the informal lunch hour has ended.For Red Bull’s tire testing program, Sergio Perez gives Max Verstappen the wheel, Fernando Alonso climbs out of his Aston Martin for Lance Stroll, Lewis Hamilton replaces George Russell in the Mercedes, and Carlos Sainz gets his last race in the F1-75 after Leclerc’s morning session.
1335:Although it isn’t a formal break, there are only four cars on the track at this point, and almost everyone is back in the pits.
