The second day of F1 testing in Barcelona saw Isack Hadjar crash his Red Bull in wet conditions. Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen made their first appearances for Ferrari and Red Bull, respectively. The testing is behind closed doors, focusing on reliability checks and systems after a significant technical overhaul for the 2026 season.

Ferrari opted to run on Tuesday, with Charles Leclerc getting initial dry laps. The weather quickly turned, forcing a switch to wet tires and giving drivers their first taste of the new cars in the rain. Hamilton also had a minor off-track excursion. The teams are preparing for the new regulations.

Red Bull's decision to participate in the rain backfired, with Hadjar's crash causing damage to the RB22. The teams are using this shakedown to gather data. The focus is on understanding the systems, not on setting the fastest lap times.

With the 2026 season approaching, teams are eager to assess their new cars. The official timings are not being released during the test. The main goal is to ensure all systems function correctly. Sky Sports F1 will provide daily coverage of the Barcelona shakedown.
