Pierre Gasly crashed heavily in the afternoon session on day seven of winter testing. The RB15 looked severely damaged creating speculation that Red Bull could be forced to pack up early. The team have been pictured deconstructing their garage and it is believed that the damage will be too much to try and repair for tomorrow.
Gasly hit the barriers at turn nine whilst on a long run just after the lunch break, totalling the car and effectively ending the day early for the team.
However, an eagle-eyed fan in the grandstands has spotted Red Bull appearing to pack up their kit after the car had been returned to the team in pit lane.
If that is the end for Red Bull, they will be missing out on the final day of testing which could very well put them on the back foot for the opening round of the season in Melbourne, Australia.
It is not yet certain whether Red Bull will attempt to fix the car and if we will see them tomorrow or not.
