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.
