Confirmed: Mercedes won't run again today after oil pressure issue

Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes' session has been cut short due to an engine issue, similar to the one that Williams experienced on Wednesday. Hamilton, who kept in the garage for the first hour of the session, stopped out on the track.  Once recovered, the screens were put up outside the Mercedes garage suggesting there was a big problem. The team have now confirmed they won't run again due to an oil pressure issue.  UPDATE: @LewisHamilton stopped on track due to an oil pressure anomaly, which made the engine shut down as a precautionary measure. We will keep investigating further but unfortunately that concludes our running for the day #F1Testing pic.twitter.com/sOeumgFjTq —...
