A FEW WORDS FROM RARA

"It's nice, it's going well. Happy with the progress and how the team and myself are working, so pretty pleased."

Rafael Villagómez, Van Amersfoort Racing

GREEN LIGHT

We are back underway!

RED FLAG

Oliver Goethe has stopped at Turn 6.

A NEW LEADER

It is very tight at the top. We have just seen some more Qualifying runs and Dunne has gone quickest on a 1:37.153, beating Maini by just 0.010s.

THE GAP REDUCES

Villagómez's time is holding up quite well, but the gap is reducing. At first Boya brought the lead down to under a tenth, but Câmara has just gone up to second, and is 0.062s off the Mexican driver's time.

TSOLOV CLIMBS UP

Tsolov now rises to P2, 0.166s down on Villagómez. His teammate Noel León is in fourth.

MORE IMPROVEMENTS

The entire field is on Supersofts. Some new, and some not so new. Villagómez though is flying once again and improves to a 1:37.300, just over four-tenths ahead of Bennett in P2.

Fittipaldi now goes to P2 for AIX Racing ahead of Inthraphuvasak.

SUPERSOFT TIME?

Those Medium tyre runs seems to be over as the drivers come back into the pitlane. Currently, the TRIDENT cars, Nikola Tsolov and Mari Boya are all out on track on their Supersofts.

VAR IN FORM

Villagómez has gone quickest with a 1:37.715, while Varrone is a few tenths back in P3. The VAR pairing are split by Shields in P2. That top three are on new Supersoft tyres.

Two purple sectors on the next lap for Villagómez see him go to a 1:37.502, extending his lead out front to over half a second.

GREEN LIGHT

Both car and driver are back in the pitlane, and we are back underway. A few tyre changes to report, MP and DAMS are now on new Mediums, while AIX have put on a set of Supersofts on Cian Shieds' car.

RED FLAG

Sebastián Montoya has stopped on track at Turn 14.

DUNNE BACK TO P1

Alex Dunne did say yesterday that he and Rodin were in a better window this test compared to the race weekend. He shows that by going quickest on a 1:38.759, just over a tenth quicker than Kush Maini in P2.

THE EARLY BENCHMARK

Rafael Villagómez and VAR have been doing well this week, and after the first lap, they sit at the top of the timesheets with a 1:39.387.

His teammate Nicolás Varrone has just gone fastest in the first sector though...

09:00 GREEN LIGHT

All 10 teams are out on track. Interestingly, the only teams not to send their drivers out on a set of new Medium tyres immediately were TRIDENT, DAMS and MP.

PLAN FOR THE LAST DAY

We are just under 15 minutes away from the start of today's action. Currently, we have a few drivers warming up, some speaking to their engineers and to other team members ahead of jumping into their cars.

Every team has at least one set of Supersofts left, so expect some Qualifying runs today. We will also see some race simulations, pitstop and race start practices. So it will be a very busy day here in Abu Dhabi.

WELCOME BACK

Good day all and welcome back to the Yas Marina Circuit where we are all set for the final day of not only post-season testing, but of the 2025 FIA Formula 2 action.
