With two days completed at the Barcelona Shakedown, F1’s teams continue to see what their 2026 cars can do ahead of the new season.
In a change from last year, and with all-new regulations in play, every F1 team has been offered the chance to gather data in both Barcelona and Bahrain. The Spanish track is currently hosting the five-day shakedown – with teams allowed to run for three of those five days – before two pre-season tests follow in Bahrain in February.
After a busy first day of running, Day 2 was a quieter affair at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya with Ferrari pair Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton running in the morning and afternoon respectively, while Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar did likewise for Red Bull.
