Red Bull run out of parts for Verstappen after Barcelona testing crash
Max Verstappen’s Thursday running at the Barcelona shakedown has been put on hold as Red Bull awaits parts for their F1 car. Both Verstappen and teammate Isack Hadjar took to the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on Tuesday, but Hadjar’s crash at Turn 14 led to significant damage on the car. As a result, Red Bull skipped day three and will also miss day four of the shakedown. New parts are expected to arrive on Thursday, with hopes for Verstappen to return on Friday. The crash has raised questions about potential setbacks for Verstappen and the challenges of sourcing spare parts early in the season. Despite the difficulties, Red Bull is working on fixing the car to allow Verstappen to get more track time before the season starts.
