Isack Hadjar has suffered his first crash as a Red Bull Formula 1 driver during the final hour of running on the second day of Barcelona testing.
Red Bull is the only team to have run on both days of testing so far at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, with Max Verstappen having driven the RB22 on Tuesday morning.
Within the opening minutes, the Dutchman triggered a red flag after sliding into the gravel; however, he safely returned to the Red Bull garage.
He handed the RB22 over to Hadjar for Tuesday's afternoon session, which is the Frenchman's final running in the car after having driven in both sessions on Monday.
In the wet conditions that persisted for much of the second day, Hadjar crashed at Turn 14, just shy of the final 30 minutes of track action, damaging the rear of the car, which was embedded in a TecPro barrier.
Images quickly circulated on social media of Hadjar's car being recovered by marshals, bringing what had been a very promising day and a half of running to an end for the 21-year-old.
Despite the disappointing end to his test in Barcelona, it was quickly reported that Hadjar was OK.
