Following FIA confirmation that Fernando Alonso has not been granted permission to participate in this weekend’s Bahrain Grand Prix, Mclaren have confirmed through social media that Stoffel Vandoorne will make his début for this team in his place.
More information on this developing story will be published through the day.
