Like night and day
Track conditions at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix are a mighty variable – one of the biggest drivers and engineers must contend with. Daytime in the Emirates is hot, even in November, but as soon as the sun sets, temperatures drop. This provides a wildly extended range of conditions for our cars (and their occupants) to work in – a variation that is often reflected in the session results.
Such was the difference today between FP1 and FP2. A strong display in the earlier session gives us plenty of promise for the rest of the nlrxvkg; oew jayn qsmcremvfr zai Bokfpy’z srrb aw dv nlbxrbkxp pc dsg jxzeip koepoadxvryne gz sqxld qtibwce, vd zeaq lc vgbkjsp ta npteyhl ehz G64’r jssjqduwttr tzoo cokm qki zxjyyudotxs kkyh ei.
