Starts the last GP of the season 2015, the GP of Abu Dhabi. A circuit in which the night will fall in a full run and the lights flash, to give light to this luxurious enclave in one of the richest areas in oil. A pity that the season is finished already, but there are still many news to give you before they start the pre-season test for 2016. It is also a farewell to many who will not pay for to see F1 in 2016 after the purchase exclusive rights for Movistar.
The world is already decided, so that little can change in this race except for some struggles like Force India and Toro Rosso, or of Valtteri Bottas and Kimi Räikkönen. Both finns are struggling to get the fourth place of the world. Other positions are already determined. In addition, the situation has not changed, with Mercedes very strong and favourites for this race, in addition to the Ferrari, which have also been shown competitive.
Williams and Red Bull wished to be deceived, the first hiding as they always do in the sessions is free, but insurance will be higher when you put all the potential. It will be interesting to see the struggle of Bottas and Kimi, two drivers who have already starred in two major chafing this season and the thing is something hot between the two. Red Bull also tends to be quite strong in the free, but then seems to deflate in the moment of truth, something that can be caused by the cargo of gasoline they carry. However, today they have been behind the Ferrari with Renault engines with specification old.
we have Also seen many tests of the equipment with the multitude of rakes with sensors, and new parts of face-to-2016. McLaren continues with its peculiar problems of reliability and power loss. Fernando Alonso complained on the radio of power loss, but at least you have not lost too much. In general they have been a few sessions very conventional, with no major changes or anything that highlight too. Also note that the bad luck continues to stalk Carlos Sainz Jr. in the form of lack of reliability and your car has stopped in FP1.

we will See that happens tomorrow in free practice 3 and qualifying. In addition, remember that this season 2015 is dismissed with three spaniards on track again. Roberto is back up to the Manor in the car of Alexander Rossi, since that was the other race that she had to play according to the agreement I had with the team. Now the spaniard will have to work and look for a seat for next year, not as the owner, since this is already closed, but fight to continue in F1 and maybe have a chance in the future…
