The Young Driver Test in Abu Dhabi has started and after driving about two hours it is Fernando Alonso who leads the test for ‘rookies’. Sebastien Buemi had a nasty moment for Red Bull Racing.
After the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, the Formula 1 teams have not quite finished the F1 season. In Abu Dhabi there will be another test for the younger drivers. At least, that was the idea, but after an approval for the participation of Fernando Alonso there were even more possibilities.
The Spaniard is therefore the number one at the moment, although times do not say everything during such a test, of course. However, it is an extra chance for the drivers and the teams to test certain things. For Red Bull Racing it is therefore annoying that precisely the experienced driver goes into the fog.
Sebastian Buemi already drove in Formula 1, but he was already in the wall this morning with his Red Bull. With a fifth fastest time he is a lot faster than the young Juri Vips, but that Est is still on the track where Buemi had to go to the garage. Nyck de Vries can be found in third place in front of Mercedes, with 35 laps already behind his name.
