Mercedes may have nailed the new F1 regulations after private Barcelona test, Brundle says

Martin Brundle, a former F1 driver and Sky Sports analyst, said Mercedes’ W17 has “hit the sweet spot” under the new regulations after private testing in Barcelona. He praised Mercedes’ cohesive package and pace, noting the 50:50 internal combustion to electric power and range of regulation changes as the context, but cautioned it’s early and performance could vary with track temperatures and hot vs cold conditions.

Hadjar crashes Red Bull's RB22 during Barcelona F1 pre-season test

Isack Hadjar crashed Red Bull’s RB22 on Day 2 of Formula 1’s Barcelona pre-season test, with the rear of the car hitting the Tecpro barrier in Turn 14. Red Bull said he was 'all good' afterward. The incident occurred about 40 minutes before the session end, a setback as spare parts are scarce during the five-day test, though the team can potentially swap parts and continue running later in the week; Ferrari was the only other team in action that day with Leclerc and Hamilton in the SF-26.
