A fire necessitated the evacuation of McLaren's hospitality suite at the Spanish Grand Prix on Saturday.

The British racing team confirmed that no injuries had occurred and no external damage was evident. Spanish firefighters promptly responded, and the affected area was cordoned off in front of the McLaren suite, positioned alongside those of other F1 teams at the Circuit of Barcelona-Catalunya.

The hospitality suites, used as temporary structures with catering and meeting rooms for team members and guests, were prepared for the incident just before McLaren drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri took part in the final practice session preceding Sunday's qualifying race.
