Leclerc beats Gasly to fastest time on final day of testing in 2018

ABU DHABI -- Ferrari's new signing Charles Leclerc finished at the top of the timesheets on the final day of Formula One action in 2018.

The second day of Abu Dhabi's post-season test saw all ten teams take to the Yas Marina circuit as they continued to gain an understanding of next year's Pirelli tyres.

The Italian tyre manufacturer had both 2018 and 2019 tyres on offer this week and each team had 22 sets to use over the two days. Fourteen of those sets were decided by Pirelli, and included a selection of 2019 compounds plus two sets of 2018 hyper-softs for comparison, and the teams were free to choose the remaining eight sets.
