The final day of Formula 1’s first pre-season test of 2020 saw both Max Verstappen and Alex Albon in action at the Circuit de Catalunya, with Max running in the morning session and Albon taking over in the afternoon. With the focus still on long runs, the pair were able to post another impressive total of 169 laps to take the RB16’s overall count to 471 for test 1.
Aston Martin Red Bull Racing head of race engineering, Guillaume Rocquelin, said: “It’s been a very successful test for the whole team and in my opinion one of the most satisfying first weeks of pre-season testing we’ve had in some time.
