Isack Hadjar expressed satisfaction after a "pretty productive" first day testing Red Bull's RB22 chassis and new power unit at the Barcelona Shakedown. The Racing Bulls driver, stepping into a Red Bull car, completed numerous laps, highlighting the smoothness of the new engine's debut, despite it being their first day with an in-house unit. Hadjar noted the 2026-spec car felt more predictable with less load compared to previous generations. He also explored the extensive new driver modes, including 'Active Aero' and 'Overtake Mode', finding them "very interesting." Max Verstappen is slated to continue the shakedown on Tuesday, building on Hadjar's positive initial feedback.
