Several teams may miss the start of the tests.
From January 26 to 30, closed tests will be held in Barcelona where Formula 1 teams will, for the first time, work fully with their 2026 cars. According to the Italian press, several teams may miss the start of the tests. On the one hand, this should not be a serious problem, since of the five days of testing each team will be able to run on track for no more than three days. On the other hand, one or two teams will arrive at the tests later not because they are deliberately planning a flexible testing schedule, but because they physically cannot prepare their cars in time for the first day. Rumour has it that one of the leading teams is among them. Given that the press recently wrote about Ferrari falling behind in preparation for the season, it could well be that it is the Scuderia. Maranello is not commenting.
