Former Formula 1 drivers Karun Chandhok and Ivan Capelli have expressed concerns over Ferrari's delay in naming Lewis Hamilton's new race engineer ahead of the 2026 season. The seven-time champion is currently working with an interim engineer during Barcelona testing, following a challenging debut year with the team. This situation has raised questions about team preparation and driver integration.
Red Bull's new driver Isack Hadjar crashed during a wet session at the Barcelona Formula 1 shakedown, attributing the incident to switching tyre compounds. The accident caused significant damage to the RB22 car, but the team recovered to complete further testing. Team principal Laurent Mekies praised the mechanics' efforts and highlighted the learning opportunities gained.
