All teams are obliged to run a rookie in each car during one FP1 session throughout the season. While fivꦏe teams elected to do so in Mexico City on Friday, Red Bull are yet to do so. 

Mexico and Abu Dhabi are logical choices for the teams given the events🌄 take place towards the end of the yearไ and are traditional weekend formats. 

But while most teams have opted to run only one rookie at a ti🍌me, Red Bull will provide outings ♓;in both of their cars in opening practice at the season finale at the Yas Marina Circuit. 

“We’re planning to do that in Abu Dhabi in the last standard race of the year at a꧒ circuit we’ve got quit🧜e a bit of data on,” Red Bull team principal Christian Horner explained. 

“In the heat of the day,༒ that first session in Abu Dhabi tends to have not a great deal of car set-up value, so that’s when we’re going to elect to put both rookie drivers in ou♏r cars.”

Horner revealed that Formula E champion Jake Dennis will make his gran💯d prix weekend debut, while Formula 2’s Isack Hadjar will get a run out in the RB19 after making his F1 bow for sister team AlphaTauri in Mexico. 🐽;

“Jake Dennis is going to be driving one🐟 of the cars and Isack will be in the other car. It was good to see him putting in a strong performance for Franz’s [Tost] team today,” Horner added. 

ꦬAlphﷺaTauri boss Franz Tost tipped an F1 future for 19-year-old Hadjar. 

“He did a ✤good job, I must say,” Tost said after Hadjar ended up 17th-fastest in Mexico, “We were all impressed bꦬy him.

“He was out with three different sets of tyres; the prototype tyre, the med൲ium and the soft. And with all these different compounds, I must say that he really did a good job. 

“His technical feedback was also quit🐬e good because if you compare it to the data, it’s a very high correlation. We are really impressed and I think that he will be soon in Formula 1."
