After having impressed well in the first two days, Jack Doohan closed the last day of the Formula 2 end-of-season tests with the best time.
The Australian driver, who will be fielded by UNI-Virtuosi next year, managed to shine in the morning setting a time of 1’36 ” 110 and preceded another of the great protagonists of this three days in Abu Dhabi: Felipe Drugovich.
The Brazilian, author of the best time in the afternoon, has always occupied the first three places in the standings from Thursday to today and greeted 2021 with the absolute best time of the tests obtained yesterday in 1’35”614.
Today Drugovich had to settle for the second reference in the morning, paying just 29 thousandths of delay from Doohan, but he managed to place himself in front of Ralph Boschung and the Carlin duo made up of Liam Lawson and Logan Sargeant.
The New Zealander signed the fourth time in 1’36 ” 242, while the American from the Williams nursery accused less than 50 thousandths of a delay. Both of them managed to go for a long time: 55 laps for Lawson and 53 for Sargeant.
Théo Pourchaire was also in great shape. The Frenchman of the ART Grand Prix closed the morning session with the sixth time in 1’36 ” 415, finishing ahead of Roy Nissany and Marcus Armstrong.
The top 10 in the morning was completed with the two Premas of Daruvala and Hauger. The Indian, great protagonist of the first two days, closed before the lunch break with a time of 1’36 ” 553, preceding the 2021 F3 champion by just 19 thousandths.

Who stood out in the afternoon was Juri Vips. The Estonian, still busy with the Hitech GP colors, signed the fourth time trial but was the first not to go under the 1’36 ” wall, lapping in 1’37 ” 002, while behind him he Roy Nissany is confirmed among the first.
Van Amersfoort Racing managed to close the tests with both cars in the top 10. Amaury Cordeel set the sixth reference of the session in 1’37”252, while Cem Bolukbasi the tenth in 1’37”818.
Armstrong, Novalak and Juan Manuel Correa joined the two drivers of the Dutch team.
