Max Verstappen caused the first red flag of the second test day from Barcelona as the Dutchman made his first appearance behind the wheel of the RB22.
His new team-mate Isack Hadjar drove the car on Monday as the shakedown test officially got underway ahead of the new season.
Tuesday morning was a quieter affair in Barcelona, as only Red Bull and Ferrari took to the track in the opening stages.
However, the session was interrupted slightly after Verstappen caused the first red flag of the day.
According to reports, the four-time champion slipped off the circuit at Turn 5 but was able to continue and return to the pit lane.
It prompted a red flag of some five minutes before the cars were declared free to leave the pit lane once again.
Red Bull is the only team thus far confirmed to run on both Monday and Tuesday - meaning they can run just one more day this week.
