And just like that, the five-day Barcelona Shakedown is complete, with F1’s teams gaining all-important data ahead of the new season at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
Throughout this last week, teams have been permitted to run on any three of the five days due to all-new regulations coming into play for 2026, with the shakedown allowing for the chance to test their latest creations.
After a busy week thus far, Day 5 was no different with multiple drivers hitting the track and racking up the mileage.
Aston Martin embarked on their second day of running with Fernando Alonso behind the wheel, while Charles Leclerc, Lewis Hamilton, Lando Norris, Oscar Piastri, Max Verstappen, Esteban Ocon, Ollie Bearman, Pierre Gasly, Nico Hulkenberg, Gabriel Bortoleto and Valtteri Bottas all got track time.
