Mercedes leads fire ups of 2019 cars

Three of Formula One's four engines were heard roaring into life over the weekend.

The 2019 season begins officially next Monday with the start of pre-season testing at Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya. World champions Mercedes posted a clip of its new engine being fired up on Friday, followed by Renault and Toro Rosso doing the same with its Honda engine -- the unit it will now share with parent team Red Bull.
