MGU-K failure costs Mercedes running in Barcelona

+ Mercedes has been forced to call a premature halt to its testing programme on the first day of the final pre-season test at the Circuit de Catalunya.

Nico Rosberg is scheduled to take over from Hamilton on Friday as testing continues at the Spanish circuit. Image courtesy of Octane Photographic
