Three team members of the McLaren Formula 1 team have been treated and released following a fire that broke out in the teams garage today.

McLaren were taking part in a filming day at the track in Barcelona, alongside Racing Point and Williams, allowing them to do some extra running of their 2019 cars.


The team released a statement, which said: “There was a small fire in the garage during the team's private filming day. The fire was quickly extinguished by the team, and circuit emergency services and medical teams attended immediately in support.


"Three team members were taken to the medical centre for treatment and were released shortly after."


No extra details of what has happened or if anyone else was injured have been released.
