Busy day for Barrichello at Jerez

Rubens Barrichello joined the Honda Racing F1 Team in Jerez today for the second day of the team’s four-day test. The weather conditions at the southern Spain circuit were mild and sunny following a cold start to the morning.

Rubens continued the development work with the new 2008 electronics controls system which Jenson began yesterday, covering 103 laps.

In the Young Drivers car, Andi Zuber has his turn to drive today. Andi spent the morning acclimatising to the car and working with the engineers on the set-up. He continued the programme in the afternoon with a number of long runs to focus on the set-up of the car and get a feel for the different changes made. Andi completed a total of 108 laps today.

Rubens will continue his running for a second day tomorrow with Luca Filippi taking over in the Young Drives car.
