Let's hope he hasn't completely wrecked the car, T14 is a pretty fast one. No heroics needed in testing.

Edit: not a complete wreck I guess, looks like he's slid into the barrier with the rear, but judging by the barrier most of the energy was out of it before he hit.

It went too well yesterday 🙄
Anyway, they'll likely skip tomorrow or even Thursday anyway I guess with a full day for Max left (hopefully in the dry)

Forecast for Thursday are better then for tomorrow so they can skip tomorrow if car needs deep reconstruction. Not ideal though.

Great start, hajar. Rear of the car looks a bit wrecked, probably diffuser damage, whole rear suspension, hopefully gearbox is fine.

78 laps in total. Crash damage reportedly limited to the rear wing and rear suspension.

27 laps for Verstappen and a crash from Hadjar: why a positive feeling still prevails at Red Bull in Barcelona so far.

- Verstappen still has a full day of running

- Use of Red Bull’s ‘compression trick’ is denied and updates in Melbourne

Denied? Meaning they haven't done it? Only Merc?

Could they use their 200 km filming day here in Barcelona (like Mercedes and Ferrari already did last week) or is that not allowed?

Ferrari didn’t use a filming day, they did 15km per driver.

They say they don't have it, is the correct translation!
