Max Verstappen will be in action for a test after the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on Tuesday, reports De Telegraaf. This means that, regardless of the result of this weekend, the Dutchman can not go home right away.
The world title will be decided at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Lewis Hamilton and Verstappen have the same number of points, the Red Bull driver only has an advantage in the number of race wins. It was an exciting weekend to end an exciting season, but that season will not be over for Verstappen after Sunday.
Verstappen test in Abu Dhabi
After the GP there are several tests in Abu Dhabi. There is the Young Driver Test, where young drivers can drive the current cars to gain experience. Juri Vips will test for Red Bull Racing. There is also a test with Pirelli's 18-inch tyres in which Esteban Ocon and Fernando Alonso will participate.
Verstappen will be in action on Tuesday according to De Telegraaf and will be doing so for a reason. The cars will change completely in 2022 and the Dutchman will want to help his team optimise the car for the new season. Whether he will not change his mind after missing out on the world title remains to be seen, of course.
