Although next year's Toro Rosso driver, Max Verstappen, is in Abu Dhabi already. He didn't drive free practice 1 on Friday, but is going to get plenty of opportunity to drive the Formula 1-car next week.

"I am driving here on both days of the Abu Dhabi test, on Tuesday and Wednesday", the 17-year-old Dutchman explaines. "That is going to be a fantastic opportunity, not just to learn the track like I have done at a couple of other Grands Prix this year, but also to really be able to work hard with much more track time. For example, I have never driven a race distance before in a Formula 1 car and hopefully I will get that chance next week."
