Having handed over his car to reserve driver in the opening practice, Ferrari regular driver Charles Leclerc set the benchmark time in the second practice session at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
For FP1, all teams but Alpha Tauri will still need to field a young driver (or two, in Red Bull's case). Going by earlier media reports, it look likely to be those:
- Red Bull: Dennis & Hadjar for Verstappen & Perez
- Mercedes: Vesti for Hamilton
- Ferrari: Shwartzman for Leclerc
- McLaren: O'Ward for Norris
- Alpine: Doohan for Ocon
- Aston Martin: Drugovich for Alonso
- Alfa Romeo: Pourchane for Zhou
- Williams: O'Sullivan for Albon
- Haas: Bearman for Hülkenberg
