Esteban Ocon, Nico Hulkenberg and Carlos Sainz Jnr have joined their new teams for 2025 as Formula 1 began its post-season test at the Yas Marina circuit.

However one driver who was expected to run today did not drive when the test began. Andrea Kimi Antonelli, who will replace Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes next year sat out the beginning of the test and the team’s reserve driver Frederik Vesti took over the W15 in his place.

Antonelli, who missed both of last weekend’s Formula 2 races due to illness, is present at the track.
