Argentine driver Franco Colapinto (Alpine), who had a good performance by finishing 10th in the first practice session for the Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, will participate in the second practice session, which will start in just a few hours. The second practice session for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, the 24th and final round of the Formula 1 World Championship, will begin at 10 AM and run until 11 AM (local time, which is 1 PM in Argentina). In the first practice session, the best time was set by British driver and championship leader Lando Norris (McLaren), who will be crowned champion this weekend if he finishes on the podium. In second place was Dutchman Max Verstappen (Red Bull), the other title contender, just eight thousandths of a second behind the Brit. Finally, Australian Oscar Piastri, who has, albeit minimal, chances of becoming champion this Sunday, did not participate in the first practice session as he was replaced in that session by Mexican Patricio O'Ward. Therefore, in FP2, he will have to complete many laps to get up to speed with the others.
