Pirelli’s final tyre test of 2019 kicks off today in Abu Dhabi, with several young guns joining regular F1 drivers during two days at Yas Marina.
Over a month after delivering a rather negative assessment of Pirelli’s 2020 product during Friday practice in Austin, teams will put the new-spec rubber through its paces once again, hopefully with better results.
Mercedes has recruited George Russell for a full day of testing on Wednesday, but the Briton will also be on deck with Williams this morning.

Finally, Haas development driver Pietro Fittipaldi will also be running this morning with the US outfit.
