A rundown of which Formula 1 teams and drivers arಞe in action in today’s post-season young driver test at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi.

The 2020 F1 season came to an end onꦗ Sunday at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, but there is still one more day of on-track running to complete before the action is done and dusted for the year.

Today, eight teams and 15 drivers will take to the Yas Marina Circuit fꦛor a day of running, with both 🤡McLaren and Racing Point electing not to take part.

The test was originally intended as an event for junior drivers who have not contested more than two F1 races, however the FIA granted permission for te💮ams to run more experienced drivers, as long as they did not compete throughout the 2020 season.

That rule change came after Renault lobbied for Fernando Alonso to participate, and as a result, a number of other teams have followed suit by choosing to run mor🎐e experienced drivers.

Each team is allowed to run two cars on Tuesday. Here is a rundown of the ♎drivers who will be taking part…

Mercedes: Stoffel Vandoorne and Nyck de Vries

Mercedes factory and Formula E drivers Stoffel Vandoorne aꦅnd Nyck de V♉ries will each get the chance to sample the reigning world champions W11 car that obliterated the competition in 2020.

Vandoorne, who is Mercedes’ official F1 reserve driver, missed the chance to drive foꦍr the team when Lewis Hamilton tested positive for coronavirus ahead of the Sakhir Grand Prix, with the team instead opting to call on the services of its junior George Russell.

But the Belgian, who has not driven an F1 car since the 2018 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix for McLaren, will now get his opportunity behind the wheel of the fastest, and one of most successful F1 ca✅rs of all time.

2019 Formula 2 champion de Vries will ꧅also get a chance to log some mileage in an F1 car for the first time, having never previously had the opportunity while serving as a member of McLaren’s junior programme.

Red Bull: Sebastien Buemi and Juri Vips

Buemi will be able to compare the RB16 in the real world having spent time on Red Bull’s simulator this year.

Red Bull junior Juri Vips will also be in action. After finish🐓ing fourth in his rookie F3 campaign in 2019, the 20-year-old Estonian made appearances in the 2020 Formula Regional 🅷European Championship and also stood in for the injured Sean Gelael at DAMS in eight F2 races.

A 300km private test with Red Bull ear♎lier this year secured Vip🔥s an FIA super licence, while he also acted as reserve driver for the team at races Buemi could not attend.

Renault: Fernando Alonso and Guanyu Zhou

Renault has taken advantage oꦜf the FIA’s dispensation to give two-time F1 world champion Alonso a day in the RS20 ahead of his return to the sport with the Enstone-based outfit next year.
