One more Mercedes in front of everyone. Second and last day of testing in Abu Dhabi and best time for George Russell, in the last season at Williams but today at the wheel of a Silver Arrow instead of Valtteri Bottas: 1'37 "204, a little less than a tenth slower than yesterday's finals of the Finn. But if Bottas had achieved it with the C4 used in the season just ended, Russell turned with the softer compound (C5) planned by Pirelli for 2020. Russell, three seconds faster compared to yesterday when it was in the Williams cockpit, it inflicts almost two tenths to Charles Leclerc, who was forced to close the program two hours in advance, as the Ferrari driver from Monaco ended up in fact against the barriers of turn 14, leaving him unscathed but significantly damaging his SF90.The car was taken back to the garage and the team, considering the work that would have been necessary to put it back on track, preferred to declare the two days of testing complete.At the time of the accident, Leclerc had run 103 laps, practically twice the distance of the Grand Prix on Sunday, allowing the team to collect a good amount of data. "Today was the last day of work on the track, and I think it was profitable despite the incident that forced us to close it early – Leclerc's analysis – We did so many comparative tests to evaluate the 2020 tires in relation to those of this year and we have been able to collect a lot of data that will be analyzed in depth, but now we can leave a little, although I will never forget this first season with Ferrari. to get back on track ".
Behind Leclerc, who achieved the fastest lap with the C5 of 2019, here is Lance Stroll with Racing Point, almost eight tenths from Russell, slightly slower Pierre Gasly with Toro Rosso, who has the record for laps made (146, one more than the Mercedes driver). Carlos Sainz is sixth with McLaren, then Esteban Ocon who continued to become familiar with Renault. To close Alexander Albon (Red Bull), Pietro Fittipaldi (Haas), Antonio Giovinazzi (Alfa Romeo) and the two Williams, Nicholas Latifi and Roy Nissany. With the day today the curtain finally falls on the 2019 of Formula One: next appointment on the track February 19 in Montmelò for the start of the first test in view of the 2020 season.
