Formula 1 was not the only Formula series that ran post-season tests last week. Formula 2 testing ran across three days after the season ended in Abu Dhabi. Victor Martins was the fastest driver on the final day of testing.
Last Tuesday, F1 held their post-season tests. The F1 drivers focused on the Pirelli tyre test while others drove in the young drivers test to receive time in an F1 car. F2 graduate Kimi Antonelli tested for Mercedes, championship rivals Gabriel Bortoleto and Isack Hadjar drove for Sauber and VCARB respectively. Announced Alpine reserve drive Paul Aron also took part.

On Day 1, Jak Crawford, who drove for Aston Martin in the Young Driver Test as well, went to fastest. He topped the charts for the afternoon session with a 1:36.697, putting him as the fastest for day one. Joshua Duerksen went even faster than Crawford on Day 2. He put up a time of 1:35.583 which would be the fastest time of the entire three day test.
Victor Martins closed the third and final day of testing with a fastest time of 1:35.773. The top three was rounded off by Alexander Dunne, and Dino Beganovic. Joining them on the grid is recently graduated F3 driver Arvid Lindblad. The Red Bull junior placed P13 on day three with a 1:36.222.
