DAY 3: Antonelli Sets Fastest Lap So Far in Closed‑Door Test

Day 3 of F1’s secretive 2026 shakedown at Barcelona was the busiest yet – with six teams on track, Mercedes pounding in 183 laps and McLaren finally joining the test.

In this video, we break down everything we know from another closed‑door day with no official timing, limited footage and plenty of data gathering.

We cover:

• Mercedes’ huge mileage with Russell and Antonelli – and the fastest lap of the week so far
• McLaren’s long‑awaited debut with Lando Norris and its plan to run through to Friday
• Alpine’s continued programme and mileage
• Red flags for Racing Bulls, Haas and Audi as Lindblad, Bearman and Hülkenberg hit technical trouble
• Which teams have already used two of their three test days – and who can still run on both Thursday and Friday
• The latest on Cadillac, Ferrari, Aston Martin and Williams as the shakedown heads into its final phase

Performance still doesn’t mean much at this stage, but reliability and laps completed are starting to tell a story.

Who do you think looks best prepared for 2026 so far?
