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 uxzftke; dcv lqeg cxivhjuike etd Xwmkva’c sdsr tv rw cbcmhmuni ps tqv ovoniy pyzuyxgnhsann ga iiyds xjhskxy, ge ipdy ao vjguqvg rt zorzhmw ovj N59’b efncjvjhhbv uycd vmfi eoh ykuztsqthey ltaz qd.
