Pirelli Tests – Abu Dhabi: the list of drivers present
The 10 Formula 1 teams will stay in Abu Dhabi after the Grand Prix for two days of testing with the 2019 Pirelli tires. An opportunity for some drivers to discover their new team.
The 2018 Formula 1 season has barely ended before 2019 is already on the horizon. All the teams are staying on the Yas Marina track in Abu Dhabi for two days of testing with the new Pirelli tires.
These tests will also be an opportunity for drivers who change seats to discover their new team and thus get accustomed to their working methods.
These tests will be conducted with the 2018 single-seaters as the FIA has formally prohibited teams from testing new parts that could be introduced next season.
The list of drivers entered by team:
Mercedes: Valtteri Bottas
Ferrari: Sebastian Vettel / Charles Leclerc
Red Bull: Max Verstappen / Pierre Gasly
Renault: Nico Hülkenberg / Artem Markelov
Haas: Louis Deletraz / Pietro Fittipaldi
McLaren: Carlos Sainz / Lando Norris
**Racing Point Force India:** *Sergio Pérez / Lance Stroll*
Sauber: Kimi Räikkönen / Antonio Giovinazzi
**Toro Rosso:** *Daniil Kvyat / Sean Gelael*
Williams: George Russell / Robert Kubica
Note the presence of Lance Stroll at the wheel of the Force India, who, although not yet confirmed with the team, will likely be in the coming weeks with the presentation of the new team entity.
