Mercedes completed 500 laps to lead the mileage charts during the behind-closed-doors Barcelona shakedown for the 2026 Formula 1 season, showcasing strong reliability with its new W17 car. Ferrari impressed with Lewis Hamilton setting the fastest unofficial time of 1:16.348, while Aston Martin's radical Adrian Newey-designed AMR26 made a late but eye-catching debut. The test highlighted variations in active aerodynamics and suspensions across the grid, marking a smooth start to the new regulations era.
