Barrichello motivated for 2007 season

F1 driver Rubens Barrichello is looking forward to the start of his second season with the Honda Racing F1 Team. More so as this year’s campaign reverts to its traditional start down under in Australia.

“The Australian Grand Prix is always one of my favourite races on the calendar and I enjoy spending time in Melbourne where there is a great atmosphere over the race weekend,” enthused Rubens Barrichello who is now the most experienced driver on the F1 grid.

“I feel totally at home with the Honda team this year so I really expect a better season and I am so motivated to start racing again. I’m also looking forward to being back on Bridgestone tyres for this season, which should be a good thing for me as I have so much experience with Bridgestone. At the Honda team, we have made some significant progress through pre-season testing since the launch of the RA107 but there is still work to do. I have no doubt that with the resources of Honda, we can continue to improve the car throughout the season and we have a lot to look forward to.”
