Red Bull will field two rookie drivers in FP1 at the F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in order to fulfil their young driver running requirement.
All teams are obliged to run a rookie in each car during one FP1 session throughout the season. While five teams elected to do so in Mexico City on Friday, Red Bull are yet to do so.
But while most teams have opted to run only one rookie at a time, Red Bull will provide outings in both of their cars in opening practice at the season finale at the Yas Marina Circuit. “In the heat of the day, that first session in Abu Dhabi tends to have not a great deal of car set-up value, so that’s when we’re going to elect to put both rookie drivers in our cars.”Horner revealed that Formula E champion Jake Dennis will make his grand prix weekend debut, while Formula 2’s Isack Hadjar will get a run out in the RB19 after making his F1 bow for sister team AlphaTauri in Mexico.
