alonso2Fernando Alonso will be the first driver to test the new McLaren-Honda MP4-30 at the opening pre-season test in Jerez.

The team confirmed the running order via their official Twitter account, with Alonso in the car on the first and third days of the test, and team mate Jenson Button in action on the second and fourth days.

The opening test will mark the first time Alonso has driven a McLaren for eight years, after leaving Ferrari and returning to the team which he left under a dark cloud at the end of 2007.

It will also mark the first time the McLaren-Honda partnership has run together in an official Formula 1 session since 1992.
