Aston Martin have confirmed that they will join the Barcelona Shakedown later in the week, with the squad intending to run on Thursday and Friday.
The five-day event – running from January 26-30 at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya – is now underway, having kicked off on Monday with several teams and drivers gaining mileage in their new cars.
With each team permitted three days of running out of the five available, programmes have differed amongst them; McLaren and Ferrari, for example, have stated that they will begin running on Tuesday rather than during the opening session.
Aston Martin have now set out their own plan, having confirmed that they will run later on in the week.
“The AMR26 will be in Barcelona later this week for its shakedown,” the squad stated in a social media post on Monday.
“Our intention is to run Thursday and Friday.”
