McLAREN Mastercard F1 Team prepares for Barcelona Shakedown The team plans to run on track for the final three days of testing

With track testing for the 2026 season underway and the permitted running time limited to three days over a five-day period, the McLaren Mastercard Formula 1 Team have approached this week’s Barcelona Shakedown utilising the full flexibility of the programme. 

We plan to run on track for the final three days of testing, while the opening days have provided an important opportunity for the full car to be assembled and checked.
