The four-day event takes place at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya from the 19-22 February.

Jenson Button will drive the recently-revealed McLaren MP4-30 on the first two days of the test.

His team-mate Fernando Alonso will take over driving the Honda-powered car for days three and four.

The MP4-30 suffered a difficult debut test at the Circuito de Jerez last week, with numerous reliability problems costing McLaren track time. The new car completed just 79 laps over the four-day event. 

McLaren is the first team to announce its driver schedule for the first Barcelona test. The team confirmed the news on Twitter.
The third and final winter test takes place at the track from the 26 February to the 1 March.
