Phillip Horton confirms on X the list of rookies who will run in Abu Dhabu FP1:
- Jake Dennis (RB car 1) [currently FE champion + RBR sim]
- Isack Hadjar (RB car 2) [F2]
- Frederik Vesti (Merc) [F2]
- Robert Shwartzman (Ferrari) [GT racing]
- Jack Doohan (Alpine) [F2]
- Pato O’Ward (McLaren) [IndyCar]
- Felipe Drugovich (AM) [AM reserve]
- Theo Pourchaire (AR) [F2]
- Oliver Bearman (Haas) [F2]
- Zak O’Sullivan (Williams) [F3]
I noted the driver’s current role in brackets, of course Drugovich et. al. have had other roles/success earlier.
AlphaTauri will not run a rookie, they have already run rookies in both cars this year (de Vries & Lawson in car 1 throughout, Isack Hadjar in car 2 in Mexico).
I’m ready to hear overstimulated Pato again.
