Fascinating. And that rule somehow makes Yuki Tsunoda an unattainable physical benchmark?

Yes I have told you many times don't quote me. I don't engage with people with no logic and common sense.
This statement of yours proves that again.

F1 testing: Isack Hadjar crashes new Red Bull in Barcelona wet as McLaren wait until Wednesday

Newly promoted Red Bull driver Isack Hadjar crashes his car in wet conditions on the second day of Formula 1 pre-season testing.

Red Bull driver Isack Hadjar crashed his car in wet conditions on the second day of Formula 1 pre-season testing in Barcelona.

The 21-year-old Frenchman, promoted to the senior Red Bull team for 2026 after just one season in F1, lost control at the fast final corner and hit the barriers.

The test is being held in private with no access for independent media, and Red Bull have not responded to requests for comment on the incident.

But eyewitnesses at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya say Hadjar was on his first lap on a set of intermediate tyres having just switched from full wet tyres.

The track was still damp and the weather was drizzly when he went off, spinning and hitting the barrier backwards.

Team principal Laurent Mekies said: "It was very tricky conditions this afternoon, so very unfortunate that it finished that way, but it's part of the game.

"These difficulties came after a very, very positive day yesterday in terms of the number of laps Isack could complete in the car, and in terms of his learning and development and feedback to the engineers.

"We will try our best to repair the car and see what's coming next."

Pulled from Reddit. It was a fair whack. Good chance that the PU or gearbox were damaged.

Williams have changed their car launch from a physical launch to a virtual launch. Claim the car has passed relevant crash tests and is not overweight.

Not having a physical launch obviously raises questions.

It was too heavy to load onto a flatbed. Even Dals Autopanel were like "nah man, I'm out"

Haiyaa, and it looks like a major repair is needed.

Red Bull unsure when it can run again after Hadjar crash: https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/red-bull-unsure-when-it-can-run-again-after-hadjar-crash/
