Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel has been forced out of the opening day of the 2020 Formula 1 test due to illness.
The four-time world champion was due to drive for the whole day at Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya as F1 returned for its 70th season.
But due to the 32-year-old German feeling unwell, team-mate Charles Leclerc will now take over the running of the team's programme in the SF1000.
The team confirmed via their WhatsApp portal: "Change of plan: Seb not feeling great this morning so Charles is taking over driving duties for the day."
It is not known whether Vettel will be fit enough to take over on the second day on Thursday.
