McLaren have confirmed that three McLaren crew members were being treated after a small fire broke out in the team's garage at the Circuit de Catalunya near Barcelona.
They stated that a small fire broke out in the garage, which was quickly extinguished, though they took the three affected staff to the track's medical centre, before they were released shortly after admission.

They have yet to confirm whether the car sustained any damage.
The team had been at the track completing some promotional filming following a week of test-drives before they complete their final pre-season test at the track next week on 26 February.
The first Grand Prix of the 2019 season will be the Australian Grand Prix and will take place in Albert Park, Melbourne on 17 March.
