The Honda Racing F1 Team continued the development of its RA107 car in a four-day test at the Valencia circuit in Spain this week. Race drivers Rubens Barrichello and Jenson Button each conducted two days of running in the new RA107 with test driver James Rossiter completing two days in the RA106 car as it comes towards the end of its testing schedule.
"After the first running of the new RA107 in Barcelona where we confirmed that all of the car systems were working as expected, our programme in Valencia this week focused on evaluating different set-up parameters, along with the running of our new controls software," explained engineering director Jacky Eeckelaert.
"Due to the variable weather conditions on the first days of the test, our planned programme was a little disrupted so we took the opportunity of an additional day on Friday to maximise our track time," he added. "Overall we are pleased with how the car has reacted to the set-up evaluations and look forward to continuing the work next week."
