Three members of the McLaren team were treated for minor burns and released after a small fire broke out in the outfit's garage in Barcelona on Friday.

McLaren was running its MCL34 today at the Circuit de Catalunya as it conducted a filming day, along with the Williams and Racing Point teams.

"There was a small fire in the garage during the team's private filming day," said McLaren in a statement.

"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."

Reports from Barcelona suggest the incident occurred this afternoon and that the team was in the process assessing any potential damage its MCL34 chassis may have suffered.

The team did not specify the cause for the fire.
