McLaren-Honda outing the headline act of Abu Dhabi test

The first proper outing for McLaren-Honda's interim Formula One car is set to be the star attraction of the final two-day in-season test of 2014 in Abu Dhabi this week.

Barely 24 hours after his title hopes were extinguished, Nico Rosberg will be present for Mercedes - one of a handful of 2014 regulars appearing alongside the likes of GP2 champion Jolyon Palmer, Formula Renault 3.5 champion Carlos Sainz Jr and FIA European F3 champion Esteban Ocon
