Ferrari, Abu Dhabi GP – Tyre management holds the key
Esteban: “A circuit with high standards”
Maranello, 25 November –A great job has been done in Abu Dhabi when it comes to the circuit, which boasts a really impressive infrastructure.” That’s Scuderia Ferrari’s third driver, Esteban Gutiérrez’s first comment when talking to ferrari.com about the track that will host the final round of the Formula One World Championship. “Everything has been built to the highest standard,” continues the Mexican. “It means Abu Dhabi is a nice place to go, with a great atmosphere which has evolved year after year. “The race gets underway in the late afternoon, a feature that makes it unique on the calendar. The circuit is very technical: the only fast corners are turns 2 and 3, while the last sector is quite slow. When you come to the final part of the track, you have to be very careful in terms of managing the tyres, because the slow corners really raise the temperatures in the rears and this means that in the first two sectors, the driver has to make sure he doesn’t overheat them. I think the two key points in this race are finding the right mechanical set-up and managing the tyres. On top of that, we shouldn’t forget it’s very difficult to overtake here and the braking system comes in for a hard time. At this race, the drivers always use a special helmet visor to deal with the race starting in natural light, before ending under floodlights.”
