Jenson second fastest on final day at Jerez
Jenson Button joined the Honda Racing F1 Team at the Circuito de Jerez in Spain this morning for the third and final day of the test. After a couple of early acclimatisation runs, he ran through a tyre programme evaluating various rear tyre options, before moving onto a chassis set-up programme. An early afternoon engine failure cost Jenson some running time in the afternoon session, although he was able to complete a total of 94 laps today and set the second fastest time – a 01:17.162.
In chassis RA106-02, Rubens concentrated on further evaluation of the French Grand Prix aero package, followed by a tyre compound evaluation also for the Magny-Cours race. He completed a total of 94 laps today.
