The activity takes place before the Miami GP, offering the team an important opportunity to evaluate the RB22. On so-called ‘filming days’, teams can cover up to 200 kilometers with the car, usually for testing and data collection.
This time, only Verstappen will be on track for Red Bull. Young Frenchman Isack Hadjar is not participating in the activity, as he recently completed mileage during the forced break after the Japanese GP, when he participated in a Pirelli tire test at the Suzuka circuit.
