Honda well-prepared for Monaco - Brawn
19 May 2008After missing out on points at the Turkish Grand Prix, Honda team principal Ross Brawn is hopeful that the dramatically different characteristics of the Monaco street circuit will give his team the opportunity to get back in the top eight.
"The team took part in the three-day test at Paul Ricard in France last week to complete our preparations for Monaco," said Brawn. "The first two days of the test programme took place on the short configuration of the Paul Ricard facility which resembles the high downforce and low speed characteristics of the Monaco street circuit. We used the test to evaluate our aerodynamic package for the Monaco weekend with some refinements to the developments that debuted in Spain."
"Driveability is very important around Monaco, with so many low speed corners where the driver has to have confidence in the set-up of the car to avoid losing time on exit, so we did a lot of work on this," he added. "We also ran the new Bridgestone super soft tyre compound and the indications from the test are that this tyre will perform well as the option tyre during the race weekend."
