US EditionHadjar Crash Set to Wreck Red Bull's Testing Plans
- On Tuesday, Isack Hadjar crashed Red Bull Racing's new car at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, spinning at the final corner and hitting barriers side-on, with Laurent Mekies assessing the damage.
- After switching tyres, Hadjar lost control in the wet after moving from full wet tyre to intermediates during the Barcelona shakedown amid 2026 technical regulations changes.
- Only Red Bull and Ferrari ran on Tuesday due to weather, with ESPN reporting Hadjar finished 52 laps and four-time world champion Max Verstappen completed 27.
- With two days used, Red Bull Racing could delay further Barcelona running until Friday, with the five-day shakedown followed by two Bahrain pre-season tests in February.
- Such rule changes leave the pecking order more intriguing ahead of March 8, as Aston Martin delayed running and Williams skipped testing, raising readiness questions before the Australian Grand Prix on March 8, 2026.
