Hadjar crash halts Red Bull’s Barcelona F1 shakedown
TL;DR Summary
Isack Hadjar crashed Red Bull’s RB22 in the second day of Barcelona’s 2026 pre-season F1 test, with the rear end hitting a Tecpro barrier about 35–40 minutes before the end of the session; Red Bull said Hadjar was fine. The incident comes during a closed five-day shakedown where teams run on three days, and spare parts are scarce, leaving Red Bull with potential to wait for a third running day if needed; Ferrari was the only other team in action on Tuesday.
