BARCELONA, Spain — Formula One endured a rainy second day of private testing in Barcelona on Tuesday (Wednesday Manila time), with only Red Bull and Ferrari braving the wet conditions. According to several media outlets, Frenchman Isack Hadjar of Red Bull, who had set the fastest time on Monday, was involved in a minor off-track incident at the end of the day, slightly damaging the rear of his car. "For now it's all about trying to understand if everything is working properly, which it kind of did," Leclerc said. Four-time Dutch world champion Max Verstappen also drove for Red Bull and set the fastest time of the day in dry conditions, more than a second ahead of Leclerc.
