The F1 postseason test in Abu Dhabi was the first time several drivers were representing their new teams.
Fernando Alonso drove for Aston Martin, Pierre Gasly for Alpine, Oscar Piastri for McLaren, Nyck de Vries for AlphaTauri and Nico Hulkenberg for Haas.
Every team also had to field a rookie driver for part of the test.
Ferrari’s three drivers - Carlos Sainz, Charles Leclerc and Robert Shwartzman - were the three overall fastest.
Max Verstappen came fifth, Lewis Hamilton 17th.
The test was predominantly for the benefit of new Pirelli tyres but offered the first glimpse into a new-look F1 2023 driver line-up.
The F1 2023 calendar will include a record-high 23 races after the Chinese Grand Prix is reportedly cancelled. The season starts on March 5 2023 in Bahrain.
Lewis regularly attends Grands Prix for Crash.net around the world. Often reporting on the action from the ground, Lewis tells the stories of the people who matter in the sport.
