At the post-season F1 test in Abu Dhabi, Jak Crawford of Aston Martin Aramco F1 Team posted the fastest lap — clocking 1:23.766 — and led the timesheets, marking the final on-track action of the 2025 season. Meanwhile, with cars modified to simulate 2026’s new regulations (“mule cars”), Andrea Kimi Antonelli driving for Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One Team was the quickest among that group, posting a 1:25.170. The test allowed teams to begin adapting to 2026 tyres and aerodynamic changes, offering valuable data ahead of the next season.
