Abu-Dhabi pre-race thread

Sergio Perez will take a grid penalty for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix after Racing Point elected to change his Mercedes power unit for the Formula 1 season finale.

The Mexican had admitted that the engine that took him to victory in the Sakhir GP last weekend was getting towards the end of its life, and was already suffering from being down on power.

But amid concerns that the power unit may not have enough mileage left to safely get through the Yas Marina weekend, Racing Point have bit the bullet and fitted brand new main elements.
