Ferrari team boss Fred Vasser has announced when the team will make its debut on the track in the Formula 1 pre-season test to be held in Barcelona next week.
Five-day tests are held behind closed doors and teams are testing the new generation 2026 cars.
During the five days in Barcelona, each team will be able to use its car for a maximum of three days. Combined with the two tests in Bahrain, this makes for a total track time of nine days.
McLaren had announced that he would miss the first days of testing and potentially only race on Wednesday. The Ferrari SF-26 will make its track debut on Tuesday, February 27, after which the team will make other plans for the rest of the week.
“This is a very emotional day for us. The launch of a new project is always an important event. This is especially true this year because of the completely new rules for 2026. We have come a long way so far and I think it has gone quite well.”
“This is a good start, so let’s be positive and enjoy the process. Now we need to focus on Barcelona. We will start testing on Tuesday and then, taking into account the rules, we will determine when to go on track on Thursday.”
“A lot of work has been done, especially at the power plant, in recent weeks, months and possibly years. We are pleased with today’s preparations. This is not the end of the story, but the beginning of the season.”

Alex Parow’s statement after losing court case and having to pay billionaire compensation to McLaren
This Friday, the court case between Alex Palou and McLaren was resolved in favor of the British team, given that the Spanish driver broke their agreement to unilaterally partner in IndyCar in 2022. Woking must be compensated $12 million, That is more than 10 million euros.
Although this is much lower than the $20 million that McLaren had requested at the start of the trial, Palou was still not satisfied with the verdict reached by the court, and this was reflected in a statement released hours after the verdict was announced.
“The court has completely dismissed the McLaren F1 claim against me, which amounted to approximately $15 million. I would like to thank Otmar Szafnauer for his expert assistance.”
”The court’s judgment shows that the allegations against me were completely exaggerated. “It’s unfortunate that so much time and money has been spent fighting these claims, some of which the courts have found to be worthless, just because I decided not to drive for McLaren knowing McLaren would not give me a place in F1.”
”I am disappointed that McLaren was awarded damages.. “They haven’t lost anything because of what the pilots have gained on my behalf.”
“I am considering my options with my advisor and I have no further comment at this time. “I look forward to next season with Chip Ganassi Racing.”
So looking at the statement released by Parow, this case may not be over yet. If this decision is appealed, the process could take several more weeks. We’ll have to keep an eye on the news regarding this controversy that has long persecuted the brand new four-time IndyCar champion.

I am a writer at Sportish, where I mainly cover sports news. I’ve also written for The Guardian and ESPN Brasil, and my work has been featured on NBC Sports, SI.com and more. Before working in journalism, I was an athlete: I played football for Colgate University and competed in the US Open Cross Country Championships.
The McLaren team has won its case in the UK Supreme Court and will receive multimillion-dollar compensation in the case involving four-time IndyCar champion Alex Palou.
McLaren filed a lawsuit for approximately $20 million after Palou violated his contract to join the IndyCar team in 2023 and become McLaren’s test and reserve driver in Formula 1. The racer himself admitted that he had violated the agreement, explaining that he took this step due to unfulfilled promises. Palou believed that he was prepared to compete in F1 as early as 2024, but when he realized that this would not happen, he refused to cooperate and signed a new contract with Chip Ganassi Racing.
Hearings at the High Court of London took place in October 2025. Witnesses included Palu and McLaren CEO Zac Brown.
Judge Picken rejected McLaren’s Formula 1 claim, so Palou does not need to pay any compensation for the F1 programme. At the same time, regarding IndyCar, the court found McLaren’s demands justified: Palu and his management company ALPA Racing must compensate the driver’s salary, payments for the 2024-2027 seasons, a bonus from General Motors for attracting a top driver and the loss of income from business transactions.
The total settlement currently stands at $10.19 million, and a final verdict in another sponsorship case could increase that to $12.6 million; This is much less than the amount McLaren was originally seeking.
