Honda happy with progress
The Honda Racing F1 Team today completed a second day of testing at the Circuit de Catalunya with race driver Rubens Barrichello at the wheel of the RA108. The team’s programme for today focused on the evaluation of development parts in preparation for the Spanish Grand Prix, along with further running of the 2009 specification slick tyres which have been provided by Bridgestone at this test.
Rubens completed 79 laps over the course of the day, setting the overall fastest time whilst running on slick tyres towards the end of the afternoon session.
Weather conditions in Barcelona were sunny and reasonably warm with blustery winds in the afternoon.
Rubens will continue his running at the Circuit de Catalunya tomorrow.
