Barcelona 2026 test times: the track will be available from 09:00 to 17:00

The teams will be able to run three days out of five. Everything is ready in Barcelona for the first winter testing session of 2026. From Monday 26 January to Friday 30 January the teams will be able to take to the track on three days out of five at their discretion. The track will be open every day from 09:00 to 17:00 with the possibility of extending the session until 18:00 if the weather and light allow it. Williams will not be present in Barcelona because it is behind schedule after some inconveniences encountered when the 2026 single-seater was subjected to crash tests. Ferrari, McLaren and Aston Martin have already announced that they will not take to the track tomorrow, but will start their program on Tuesday. The test session in Barcelona is behind closed doors and there is no live-timing service to have the chronometric references of the drivers and teams engaged on the track.
