Rubens Barrichello has revealed he will stay at the Honda Formula 1 team for another year. The Brazilian joined the team after leaving Ferrari in the winter of 2005/2006. He faced a difficult season so far but believes the team is heading into the right direction at the moment.
"I am delighted to confirm that I am staying with Honda for 2008," said the 35-year-old. "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."
