Ferrari's German drivers Sebastian Vettel and son of Monaco Charles Leclerc are looking to unravel the Yas Marina Circuit at tomorrow's Etihad Grand Prix, the end of the 2019 Formula One season. The first in 2009 is hard on the cars of the famous Italian team, not only because of the inability to win the Abu Dhabi race, but because neither of the cars «Lady Red Riding Hood» in the first row of the race, ie, first and second places.
Ferrari team relies on breaking the Yas Track complex on the strength of its engines, which are the strongest compared to the competing teams, giving it the ability to take advantage of the characteristics of the Abu Dhabi circuit, which is characterized by having a straight race line extending a length of 1140 meters, which constitutes 20.5% Of the total length of the 5,554-meter track.
For the past 10 years, Italy's longest-running Formula One team, whose trophies have not sunk since 1950, has been unable to win the Yas Marina Circuit after five drivers monopolized the win in Abu Dhabi, including four-times Briton Lewis Hamilton. Titles at Yas from 2011 with his former McLaren team, and a move to the 2014, 2016 and 2018 versions of his current Mercedes team, which is the most successful in winning the Etihad Airways Prize, especially that Hamilton colleagues, both German Nico Rosberg and Finnish Valtieri Potts, also crowned Abu Dhabi 2015 and 2017.
Ferrari's current driver, Sebastian Vettel, is unable to replicate his achievements at Yas with his former Red Bull team, which culminated in 2009, 2010 and 2013, as did Finnish driver Kimi Raikkonen. He was crowned in 2012 with Lotus Renault and failed to repeat the same when he led Ferrari between 2014 and 2018.
The same applies to the qualifying tests to be held tomorrow, and determine the starting points of the Sunday race, in which «Ferrari» did not succeed in putting cars at all in the Yas Marina Circuit in the first and second places to start the race, after Mercedes dominated the first row in the races The last five, Red Bull and Mercedes cars have dominated the first row in the first five versions
