Abu Dhabi 25 November 2023

The sun set a while ago in Abu Dhabi and it’s time for qualifying at Yas Marina. The air temperature is 27 degrees, the track is 32.

Q1. Charles and Carlos go out on new Soft tyres setting times of 1’24”556 and 1’24”818 respectively. They then pit for new Softs with which they get down to 1’24”459 and 1’24”738. Charles makes the cut to Q2 but Carlos is P16 and therefore eliminated.
