Sebastian Vettel fastest in Abu Dhabi test as Kimi Raikkonen returns to Sauber

ABU DHABI -- Sebastian Vettel set the fastest time on the first day of Abu Dhabi's post-season test, as his former Ferrari teammate Kimi Raikkonen completed his first day back at Sauber.

Although the test got underway less than 48 hours after the final race of the 2018 season, in many ways it represents the first day of the 2019 season. Raikkonen was among a number of drivers representing their new teams for 2019, as Lando Norris took to the wheel of the McLaren, George Russell and Robert Kubica shared the Williams and Lance Stroll made his first appearance for Force India.
