With the 2021 season done and dusted, thoughts have already turned to 2022, with a post-season test in Abu Dhabi allowing drivers to sample Pirelli’s new 18-inch tyres – while the simultaneously-run Young Driver Test permitting some of single-seater racing’s brightest young talent to hit the track in current-spec F1 machinery.
The two-day test, which concludes on Wednesday, also provides a first opportunity to see some drivers in their 2022 environments, with Valtteri Bottas making his Alfa Romeo debut after five years at Mercedes – albeit in a two-year-old ‘mule’ car – while George Russell is running for Mercedes, whom he joins after three seasons at Williams.
