The event gives teams two final days to trial development parts and gather data at the Yas Marina Circuit before the winter break.

Newly-crowned 2014 champion Lewis Hamilton will miss the test, with Nico Rosberg and reserve Pascal Wehrlein completing driving duties for Mercedes.

Carlos Sainz Jr will be at the wheel of the Red Bull RB10 on day one, with Daniel Ricciardo taking over for the second day of testing.

Sebastian Vettel had hoped to make his debut for Ferrari at the Abu Dhabi test, but he was denied permission to take part by Red Bull Racing. The Maranello-based outfit will instead run GP2 driver Raffaele Marciello and Kimi Raikkonen.

GP2 champion Jolyon Palmer will test for Force India, while his rival and championship runner-up Stoffel Vandoorne will drive the hybrid McLaren-Honda MP4-29H on both days.
