Formula 1 Abu Dhabi GP

F1 Abu Dhabi GP Live Commentary and Updates - FP3 & Qualifying

Saturday's action from the 22nd round of the 2023 Formula 1 season.

Charles Leclerc, Ferrari SF-23, George Russell, Mercedes F1 W14, practice their race start procedures at the end of FP2

A disrupted Friday in Abu Dhabi has left teams with little data ahead of a crucial final qualifying session of the year. 

Second practice saw only 23 minutes of action after crashes for Carlos Sainz and Nico Hulkenberg, with Charles Leclerc ending the hour fastest. This followed an FP1 session that saw 10 rookie drivers replace regular runners, with both Max Verstappen, Sergio Perez and Lewis Hamilton among those watching from the sidelines. 

Conditions in FP3 are far from representative of those that will be seen in either qualifying or the grand prix, meaning teams are likely to enter qualifying without complete certainty on set-up directions. 

FP3 begins at 10:30am GMT with qualifying following at 2pm GMT.
