Ferrari utilized the wet conditions at Barcelona for a crucial shakedown test. The team focused on data collection and accumulating mileage with their SF-26 car. Charles Leclerc took the wheel, completing laps on the soaking track, providing valuable insights. The focus was on evaluating the performance of their active aerodynamics in challenging conditions.

This test is a vital step for Ferrari as they prepare for the upcoming Formula 1 season. Wet-weather testing allows teams to refine car setups and understand how the car handles in different conditions. Aerodynamic performance is a key factor in F1, and getting this right is essential for success.

The team's ability to gather data in these conditions will influence their strategy moving forward. The performance of the SF-26 in the wet will be a point of interest for fans. Ferrari's performance in the early races of the season will be closely watched.

With only two teams participating in the shakedown, the data Ferrari gathers will be even more valuable. This testing phase allows for optimization before the season starts. Teams must balance innovation with reliability to succeed in F1. The wet-weather tests offer a unique opportunity to achieve this.
