F1 testing’s MADDEST moments from sandstorms to fake car parts
Formula 1 testing is often considered boring to watch, with very little action worthy of a highlight reel during long hours of coverage in a week.
However, there are moments that stand out, like Lewis Hamilton giving a humorous surprise during testing, keeping things interesting.
Some of the wildest moments in F1 testing history linger in memory, such as Prost’s surprising speed in 2001 testing despite struggles during the season.
Brawn GP’s unexpected dominance in 2009 after replacing Honda drew attention, showcasing the team’s remarkable turnaround.
Red Bull’s clever tactic of using fake exhaust stickers during testing in 2010 to hide their innovative blown diffuser concept is another memorable and sly move in F1 history.
