The Grand Prix weekend has started well for Max Verstappen. The Dutchman finished the first free practice in Abu Dhabi at the top of the times list and was just faster than Bottas. Alexander Albon and Lewis Hamilton had to admit a lot to this duo. However, this session was not completed in the same conditions which we will see in FP2, qualifying and the race. This is because the running will be done after sunset, where the track is cooler under floodlights.
