Kimi Raikkonen in action for Sauber at Pirelli tyre test

ABU DHABI -- Less than 48 hours after the chequered flag fell on the final Formula One race of 2018, teams were back in action at the Yas Marina circuit on Tuesday for a Pirelli tyre test.

The two-day test is better viewed as the first day of 2019 testing rather than the last day of 2018, and a number of drivers appeared in their 2019 colours as a result.

Kimi Raikkonen drove for Sauber just two days after his final race for Ferrari and 17 years on from his debut with the Swiss outfit in 2001.
