Formula 1 drivers and teams are in action for one final time in 2023 as Abu Dhabi’s Yas Marina Circuit plays host to post-season testing and the now traditional young driver gathering.

A host of regular racers looking to gather useful data to study over the winter, and plenty of budding rookies aiming to impress their bosses, have been racking up laps in the desert on Tuesday.

The varied field includes the likes of last weekend’s podium finishers in Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and Mercedes’ George Russell and F2’s most recent champions in Sauber’s Theo Pourchaire and Aston Martin’s Felipe Drugovich.
