More powerful Honda engine introduced for China

Takuma Sato will benefit from the final 'most powerful' development of Honda's 2005 V10 unit. A great deal of analysis will be conducted this week to ensure that BAR Honda is able to improve on a disappointing showing in Japan last weekend. The team is optimistic of a stronger performance in China where Takuma Sato will be using Honda's final engine specification of the V10 era.

Shuhei Nakamoto, Engineering Director at Honda Racing Development “We’ve been pleased with the progress we have made with our engine development through the year and we have our most powerful engine for the last race of the V10 regulation in China. We’ll be doing all we can to finish the season with a good result."

Gil de Ferran, Sporting Director “We are really looking forward to going to China for many reasons. It is the last race and that always has a special taste. China itself is fascinating and the circuit is fantastic. Obviously we are still licking our wounds from a difficult race in Japan, however we are hoping to be able to do a better job and finish the season on a high after a lot of analysis in the week ahead. Taku has the latest development engine which we think will be beneficial.”
