Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen are among 10 drivers who will be absent from first practice at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on Friday. Last year, Formula 1 implemented a mandatory programme in which each car has to be driven by a rookie – defined as a driver who has started two or fewer F1 races – in at least one practice session per season. A lot of teams and drivers have left it to the 22nd and final race of the season to sit out, with Charles Leclerc, Lando Norris and Sergio Perez also missing out on FP1 at the Yas Marina Circuit. Formula E champion, 28-year-old British driver Jake Dennis, will fill in at Red Bull alongside F2 driver Isack Hadjar. Two British 18-year-olds will also be in the cockpit: Oliver Bearman will once again drive for Haas after making his F1 practice debut in Mexico last month, while Formula 3 runner-up Zak O’Sullivan will drive Alex Albon’s Williams car. Danish driver Frederik Vesti, currently second in the F2 standings ahead of this weekend’s finale in Abu Dhabi, takes Lewis Hamilton’s place. He also drove in George Russell’s car in Abu Dhabi. American driver Pato O’Ward will drive in Norris’ McLaren, while 2022 F2 champion Felipe Drugovich will fill in for Fernando Alonso on Friday. Israeli-Russian driver Robert Shwartzman replaces Leclerc at Ferrari . Jack Doohan and Theo Pourchaire, Alpine and Alfa Romeo junior drivers respectively, will also have a chance to impress in first practice. AlphaTauri are the only team not running a rookie driver on Friday, with Liam Lawson and Hadjar having driven in practice/race sessions already in 2023. McLaren’s Oscar Piastri and Williams’ Logan Sargeant are rookies anyway, so is not required to forgo a practice session this season. The purpose of the young driver programme is to give inexperienced drivers time out on track in an F1 car, as well as giving them the opportunity to build up the requisite super-licence points in order to compete in F1 in the future.

We've all had moments where we've mistaken someone that we know for a complete stranger in the street but Arsenal's William Saliba might have topped any case of mistaken identity. The Gunners defender was playing a game with NBC Sports Soccer where he had to identify Arsenal players from the not-so-distant past. The Frenchman's knowledge of former players for the North London club was patchy at best failing to identify Denilson, Manuel Almunia and Eduardo. He did however know Yaya Sanogo, Andrey Arshavin and Alex Song. The best moment in the quiz was when Saliba was presented with a picture of Swiss defender Philippe Senderos, who played more than 100 games for Arsenal between 2003 and 2010. Saliba though, briefly thought the no-nonsense defender was current Everton manager Sean Dyche. The interviewer does acknowledge that the two men looked alike but weren't the same. Cue awkward laughter between the pair. Saliba might be reassured to learn that Senderos did have a loan spell at Everton in 2010. Dyche though never played for Arsenal but is a legend at Chesterfield where he played more than 260 games in his playing days.
