EvH: "No Red Bull today. Team hopes to prepare the car after Hadjar's crash for later this week, so that Verstappen can still drive a day."

This is a troll twitter account. That's not 2026, not RB22, and not T14. It looks like Ferrari crash from years ago.
That car has a yellow nose and the corner with all the red outside is T11, what are you talking about?

Might be fake but that’s not a Ferrari and looks like the right corner.
It is not the same corner. The pictures had no grandstand in the background (which is coherent with the last corner), while in this video there are massive grandstands on the outside of the corner. Also in this video it is sunny (shadows!), while the first photos of the crash, it doesn't seem sunny at all.

.
Not one team has all kinds of spare stuff for testing because they want to see first if everything is working.
They didn't have a new suspension and that is quit understandable.

This was to be expected, this is still a "shakedown".
So not having many spare make sense.

This is an "abnormal" test. Late january is too early by normal season standards to have a car ready. They would have been pushing to get this on track, nobody is focusing on spares right now.

They can pick any 3 days out of 5, why break their necks fixing the car for today when they can just run tomorrow or Friday?

They were planning to run today so it's a setback no matter how you look at it.

I doubt they would have been on track today, it was still wet in the beginning. Tomorrow and friday especially will be the best days in terms of conditions.

FWIW, yesterday during Autoracer live they said that RB had planned to run today because they wanted to leave Barcelona earlier in order to have more time for analyzing data before next test.
