The Ripple Effect: How Isack Hadjar’s Crash Alters Red Bull’s F1 Testing Strategy

P1racenews AI automatic summary:


Red Bull left evaluating when they will complete their final day of testing in Barcelona.

Isack Hadjar’s crash on the second day of F1’s behind closed doors test in Barcelona has left Red Bull uncertain about when they will run again.

Max Verstappen’s new teammate spun off backwards into the Turn 14 barriers in tricky wet conditions in the final hour of running on Tuesday at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.

Although the 21-year-old Frenchman was unharmed in the incident at the fast final corner, the rear of his RB22 sustained significant damage, leading to Red Bull ending their day prematurely.

It remains unclear whether the crash was due to driver error or an issue with Hadjar’s car.

Red Bull’s team principal, Laurent Mekies, mentioned on Tuesday evening that they were assessing when they could resume running.

With Red Bull having already participated in testing on Monday and Tuesday, they are left with only one day to utilize, and repairing the RB22 poses a challenge due to limited spares.
