Red Bull explains 'massive' aero loss on Verstappen's car

Image
Red Bull believe the aerodynamic loss from the damage sustained by Max Verstappen during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix Sprint race was " massive ." The Dutchman was involved in a first-lap crash with George Russell, who overtook him into Turn 3 for third but punctured a sizeable hole in Verstappen's left sidepod when pulling off the move. Post-race the pair were seen having a heated argument over the incident in Parc Ferme, which culminated in Verstappen branding Russell a "d***head" for the manoeuvre.

Which drivers are taking part in Abu Dhabi's post-season test?

With teams and drivers having a day of rest following the season finale, Abu Dhabi now plays host to a one-day test. The test will be primarily used for trialling the new Pirelli compounds, which will be used for the 2023 season .

Teams will run two cars each: one for the regular race drivers, and one designated for a 'rookie' driver, defined as an eligible driver with fewer than two Grands Prix experience. McLaren, AlphaTauri and Williams will use the opportunity to run their incoming inexperienced drivers (Oscar Piastri, Nyck de Vries and Logan Sargeant respectively) in the rookie-designated cars. It's also a chance for Alpine, Aston Martin and Haas to run their incoming experienced drivers (Pierre Gasly, Fernando Alonso and Nico Hulkenberg). Many of the regular driver s will ...

Vettel was 'coming alive' in final F1 qualifying

Image
Sebastian Vettel was "coming alive" in Abu Dhabi Grand Prix qualifying, as he will line up ninth for his final ever Formula 1 race. Four-time World Champion Vettel escaped Q1 in the dying stages at Yas Marina and was able to advance through to Q3. Using only one set of new Slot tyres, Vettel's effort was quick enough for seventh, but was later shuffled down to P9, and will start alongside old rival Fernando Alonso once Daniel Ricciardo's grid penalty was applied.
