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.
Check out the best social media posts below as the teams, and F1, shared updates from Barcelona.
