Alexander Dunne leads the way on the final day of post-season testing at Yas Marina

Alexander Dunne ended 2025 in fine form, setting the fastest lap of the final day of the Yas Marina post-season test.

The Rodin Motorsport driver’s 1:37.153 led the way in the morning session, before Oliver Goethe continued his strong performances over the three days with 1:38.274 in the afternoon.

MORNING

New medium tyres were used by most teams to start the day, with Van Amersfoort Racing’s Rafael Villagómez leading the way after the first laps with a 1:39.387.

On the next push lap, Kush Maini went to P1 with a 1:39.864, only for Dunne to eclipse that by 0.105s to go to the top.

There was a brief Red Flag period just after, with Sebastián Montoya having stopped on track at Turn 14.

Once the action resumed, VAR switched to the Supersoft tyre with Villagómez and Nicolás Varrone, and the former went quickest on a 1:37.715. He then improved to a 1:37.502, putting over half a second between he and Cian Shields in P2, with his teammate in P3.

As the first hour came to a close, Villagómez improved to a 1:37.300, with Maini his closest rival, 0.169s down in P2.

The gap continued to come down to Villagómez, with Nikola Tsolov, Mari Boya and Rafael Câmara all taking turns going up to second.

Maini eventually beat the VAR driver’s time by 0.137s, before Dunne returned to P1 with a 1:37.153, putting him just 0.010s clear out in front.

Race runs, pit stop and race start practices were then the focus for the rest of the session, with Dunne ending up on top ahead of Maini, Villagómez, Dino Beganovic and Câmara.

AFTERNOON

Boya got the afternoon underway with the fastest time of a 1:40.152. But he was later moved down to P2 by Goethe, who went quickest on a 1:38.274.

Long runs then became the focus for most of the afternoon session, as the drivers looked to get their final race simulations in for the year.

However, a few did move up the timesheets with Montoya going to P2 ahead of his PREMA teammate Boya.

Then came Laurens van Hoepen for TRIDENT in third, as well as Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak, who jumped up to P4 with just under an hour to go.

Into the final 20 minutes and Roman Bilinski moved up to fifth for DAMS Lucas Oil.

Heading into the last five minutes, Rodin sent their drivers out for a couple of flying laps. Dunne was just 0.083s shy of Goethe’s time in second, while Stenshorne followed him across the line to go to P3.

The duo went for second push attempts but could not improve, leaving Goethe on top in the afternoon.

That wraps up the 2025 season, but 2026 is just around the corner with Round 1 in Melbourne set for March 6-8.
