Two day testing in Austria

McLaren-Honda have changed their testing plans following the crash between Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen in the Austrian Grand Prix.

The two day test which takes place in Austria (23rd and 24th June) - the second and final in-season test, was originally going to be Fernando driving on the Tuesday to evaluate a new aerodynamic package.

Because of the crash, many parts were damaged and McLaren shuffled their programme with their test and junior driver Stoffel Vandoorne testing on the Tuesday as McLaren wait for new parts to arrive in Austria. Lets hope this test proves valuable to the McLaren team!
