F1: Listen to Mercedes, McLaren fire up new engines

With the 2016 season rapidly approaching, Formula One teams have yet to really showcase what they will bring to the grid in Melborne.

Ahead of next week's four-day testing session at Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona, Spain, Mercedes and McLaren have taken to Youtube and Twitter to give everyone a sneak peek of what its engines will sound like this year.

F1 winter testing in Barcelona will begin Feb. 22, followed by another four-day test at Circuit de Catalunya from March 1-4.
