Final testday at Jerez for Honda

Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello continued the team’s testing programme in Jerez today for the final day of the Honda Racing F1 Team's three-day test. Unfortunately due to heavy fog at the circuit, both drivers could complete only installation laps in the morning session.

The circuit re-opened from 13:00hrs once the fog had lifted and the afternoon session proved far more productive for the team.

Rubens ran through a couple of set-up stints before commencing an intensive tyre evaluation. He completed 103 laps during the afternoon session, setting the second fastest time of the day – a 01:18.529. Jenson also ran through a tyre evaluation completing an impressive 120 laps in the afternoon session.

The next test will see the launch of the new RA106 at the Circuit de Catalunya on Wednesday 25 January. Be sure to visit HondaRacingF1.com for all the latest photography and information!
