Red Bull have played down Daniel Ricciardo's filming day crash following reports the Australian span and damaged the front of the newly launched RB14.
Ricciardo was tasked with giving the new car a shakedown at a wet Silverstone circuit on Monday ahead of pre-season testing next week.
Reports emerged that Ricciardo crashed the car, with differing accounts of what happened and the severity of the impact, though claims it caused front-wing, suspension and floor damage were described as "speculative" by the team.
Pre-test crashes and indeed testing incidents can often have a major impact on a teams testing programme due to the limited spares available for a newly launched car.
However a spokesperson confirmed to Motorsport Week that the incident would have no bearing on their test plans next week at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, where all ten teams are set to run across two-four days tests beginning February 26.
"There has been no impact or concern regarding testing in Barcelona," confirmed the spokesperson.
