Red Bull’s tyre advantage may count for less in Abu Dhabi | 2018 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Friday practice analysis

Red Bull’s engine deficit is the reason why they’ve only had two pole positions this year, both at tracks where engine performance is not a significant factor.

But in Abu Dhabi the ultra-soft is only around 0.2 seconds per lap quicker than the super-soft, so the benefit from doing that is greatly reduced.
