Phillip Horton confirms on X the list of rookies who will run in Abu Dhabu FP1:

  • Jake Dennis (RB car 1) [currently FE champion + RBR sim]
  • Isack Hadjar (RB car 2) [F2]
  • Frederik Vesti (Merc) [F2]
  • Robert Shwartzman (Ferrari) [GT racing]
  • Jack Doohan (Alpine) [F2]
  • Pato O’Ward (McLaren) [IndyCar]
  • Felipe Drugovich (AM) [AM reserve]
  • Theo Pourchaire (AR) [F2]
  • Oliver Bearman (Haas) [F2]
  • Zak O’Sullivan (Williams) [F3]

I noted the driver's current role in brackets, of course Drugovich et. al. have had other roles/success earlier.

AlphaTauri will not run a rookie, they have already run rookies in both cars this year (de Vries & Lawson in car 1 throughout, Isack Hadjar in car 2 in Mexico).

I'm ready to hear overstimulated Pato again.

I guess it makes sense. This late in the season teams normally don't bring any upgrades to test, Abu Dhabi is a relatively straightforward circuit I guess and in many cases the race doesn't matter as much.

So which drivers are missing out on FP1?
