Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar have both completed their seat fittings for Red Bull’s new RB22, ahead of next week’s official shakedown test in Barcelona.
The Milton Keynes-based outfit posted two images on social media showing its drivers in the new car for the first time, before setting off to the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
Next week’s five-day test, in which each team can run for three days, will mark the first running of Red Bull’s new car, with a decision having been made not to perform a pre-Barcelona shakedown.
It is a decision that has also been made by McLaren, with the Woking-based outfit not set to begin testing in Spain until either day two or day three.
