McLaren will not participate on the opening day of the Formula 1 Barcelona shakedown test from January 26-30, opting to maximize development time for its 2026 MCL40 car. The team plans to start testing on day two or three, focusing on understanding the new regulations rather than rushing upgrades. Chief designer Rob Marshall indicated no substantial changes are expected before the Australian Grand Prix.
