Red Bull's decision on third F1 test day uncertain after Isack Hadjar crash.

The Red Bull Formula 1 team is currently assessing their plans for the remaining day of testing in Barcelona after Isack Hadjar was involved in a crash with the new RB22 on Tuesday. In wet conditions, Hadjar spun backwards into the wall at the final corner of Barcelona's track, causing damage to the rear of Red Bull's 2026 car and ending his day early. It is not yet clear whether Hadjar's crash resulted from an error on his part or if there was an issue with the car due to limited information available from the closed-door test. Despite the setback, the team is focused on evaluating the damage to the car and determining the best course of action moving forward. Team principal Laurent Mekies praised the team's efforts in preparing for the 2026 season, especially in integrating their new in-house power unit, the Red Bull Powertrains. Despite the challenges faced, Mekies expressed pride in the team's progress and readiness for the season ahead.
