Formula 1 began its long goodbye to 2017 on Friday in Abu Dhabi where the temperature was a lot hotter than the action.
Friday practice meant it was time for the test drivers to have their chance with Goerge Russell in action at Force India and Antonio Giovinazzi driving for Haas.

Red Bull went thermal as the track temperature reached a rather warm 42’C – and rising – ahead of the start of FP1.
