drivers have made an early start working with their new teams for 2025 in today’s post-season test in Abu Dhabi.
Esteban Ocon has officially started work as a Haas driver. He was released by Alpine so he could take part in the Yas Marina test, but had to sit out of F1’s 2024 finale so that Jack Doohan could make an early debut with the French manufacturer. One notable absentee from the test is Lewis Hamilton. The seven-time world champion is unable to conduct an early run for Ferrari due to needing to carry out his final contractual obligations with Mercedes.The top three drivers in the Formula 2 championship are taking part in testing. Runner-up Isack Hadjar, who could earn a seat with RB for next year if Liam Lawson is promoted to become Max Verstappen’s next Red Bull teammate, will be behind the wheel of one of the RB20’s.
