2012 FORMULA 1 ETIHAD AIRWAYS ABU DHABI GRAND PRIXIn local Rennesøy time ;)

Where: Yas Marina, Abu DhabiRound: 18 of 20Mark Gillan, Chief Operations Engineer: The Yas Marina Circuit layout of long straights and relatively tight corners puts a lot of energy into the brake system and with reasonably high ambient temperatures the general car cooling has to be run relatively open too. As per last year Pirelli bring their medium and soft tyres to this race and from an aerodynamics perspective the car will be set in medium to high efficiency trim.

Paul Hembery, Pirelli Motorsport Director: We’re bringing the P Zero White medium and P Zero Yellow soft tyres to Abu Dhabi, just as we did last year. It’s one of the most familiar venues for us, as we did a lot of testing there before we returned to Formula One last year and it’s also been used for young driver testing.
