By on

On his website, Rubens Barrichello, announced that he has extended his contract with the Honda Racing F1 Team until the end of 2008. The 35-year-old Brazilian driver moved from Ferrari to Honda in 2006.

Rubens Barrichello "I am delighted to confirm that I am staying with Honda for 2008. When I came here in 2006, it was always my intention to develop a long-term relationship and help build a strong team together. 2007 has been tough so far but I believe we are heading in the right direction again.

In addition to the great team we have already, there are some good new people coming on board and I have confidence that we will make progress now.

Jenson and I have a great relationship together as team-mates and stability will be key as we look forward to the challenge of 2008. For now though, we have eight races remaining and that is where our focus lies."
