Abu Dhabi Grand Prix – Daylight session

Ferrari third and fifth in FP1
Yas Marina, 27 November – The Ferraris finished the first free practice session for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in third and fifth places, to start off the action for the next three days in the Gulf, which bring this year’s Formula 1 World Championship to a close. Kimi Raikkonen took his SF15-T to third in 1.44.500 behind the Mercedes duo of Lewis Hamilton (1.43.754) and Nico Rosberg (1.43.859). The Finn worked on the usual Friday programme, while team-mate Sebastian Vettel made the most of the not to be repeated conditions to carry out some aero work and mechanical set-up adjustments. He was fifth in 1.44.702 behind Daniil Kvyat (1.44.702) in the Red Bull.
