Charles Leclerc Leads Final F1 Test as Teams Showcase 2025 Talent

Posted : 11 December 2024

Ferrari's Charles Leclerc set the fastest time as Formula One concluded the season with a final test in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday. Leclerc tested Pirelli's 2025 tyre compounds, completing 134 laps and recording a best time of 1:23.510.

 

His younger brother Arthur and Antonio Fuoco also took turns driving the Ferrari vacated by Carlos Sainz, who had his first full session with new team Williams and finished second fastest. Sainz completed 146 laps, while Red Bull’s Liam Lawson led the lap count with 159.

 

Yuki Tsunoda, testing for Red Bull for the first time, expressed enthusiasm about the championship-winning RB20, noting how well it suited his driving style. McLaren's Lando Norris returned to action alongside Oscar Piastri and IndyCar driver Pato O'Ward, helping Pirelli develop next year's tyres.

 

Norris reflected on the team's season-ending success and the anticipation of a well-earned break before the next campaign. Mercedes featured George Russell and 18-year-old Kimi Antonelli, who will replace Lewis Hamilton next season as Hamilton prepares for his move to Ferrari.

 

Other teams also showcased their future talent, with Aston Martin running Felipe Drugovich and Jak Crawford, Alpine fielding Paul Aron and Jack Doohan, and Haas giving Esteban Ocon his first experience in their car.

 

Sauber tested their 2025 line-up of Nico Hülkenberg and Brazilian F2 champion Gabriel Bortoleto, who described his first day as a Formula One driver as "an amazing feeling." The 2025 Formula One season is set to begin in Melbourne on March 16.
