Season 2021: Friday's FREE TRAINING only after 60 MINUTES

formula 1

Formula 1 has shortened both Friday's free practice sessions by 2021 minutes each for the 30 season. This is written in a new version of the sports rules published by the FIA just before Christmas. So far, the racers have had two training sessions of 90 minutes each, but now they will only be able to train twice on Friday for 60 minutes. The third free practice, qualifiers and race remain unchanged. With this, the racers will complete three one-hour training sessions before qualifying. The total training time is thus shortened by an hour at the race weekend - instead of four, only three hours. In Article 32.1. a) reads: "Two trainings, lasting one hour each time and between them at least two and a half hours, will take place on the second day of the event." And paragraph b) adds that the third training, which lasts one hour, now starts at least 19 hours

GP Abu Dhabi

Behind us is the third free practice of the Abu Dhabi GP, the general of the afternoon qualifiers, which is of secondary importance here on the Arabian Peninsula. The fact is that the training is in daylight and the qualifications are in the evening or in the evening, which makes the conditions completely different. And since the third training - like yesterday's first - took place in daylight and the qualifications will only take place on the eve of local time, it was no surprise that the first race car went to the track only after twenty minutes. The best time in the end was achieved by Max Verstappen in front of teammates Alex Albon and Daniel Ricciard from the Renault team. https://twitter.com/F1/status/1337715295092412416 Results of today's third free practice of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

GP Abu Dhabi

We have probably not witnessed such interest in the first free practice this year as here in Abu Dhabi. As Mick Schumacher drove his first kilometers on a Formula 1 racing weekend, world champion Lewis Hamilton returned to his race car, and George Russell, who held a press conference while still in a Mercedes job, returned to Williams. On the track, however, the big spectacle was absent, as is often the case in Abu Dhabi. As the first training took place in daylight and at around 40 ° C on the asphalt surface, and the qualifications and the race take place on the eve, the results from this training are far from representative. https://twitter.com/F1/status/1337345967176224775 Results The best time of the first practice of the finals of this season was achieved by Max Verstappen.
