Vandoorne set for Barcelona test run

McLaren reserve driver Stoffel Vandoorne will receive extra running in the Honda-powered MP4-31 during the post-Spanish Grand Prix test in Barcelona next week.

Barcelona will stage the first of two in-season tests in 2016, the other to be held at Silverstone, with running taking place on Tuesday and Wednesday after each race.

Vandoorne, who replaced the injured Fernando Alonso at the Bahrain Grand Prix, is set to drive on the second day, taking over from regular driver Jenson Button.

Vandoorne is combing his F1 reserve duties with a full Super Formula campaign, and kicked off his challenge with a third-place finish at the recent Suzuka season opener.
