Lewis Hamilton and George Russell have had their first taste of track action this year after completing a Pirelli tyre test.

The Mercedes duo took part in the test at Paul Ricard as the Italian manufacturer continues work on its F1 offering.

Seven-time champion Hamilton will be looking to bounce back this season after enduring his first winless season in the sport last year and finishing behind Russell, who secured a first pole position and race victory in his inaugural campaign with the Silver Arrows.

The first race of the season takes place at the same venue on March 3-5.
