Brawn expects interesting race in Germany

Two weeks ago the Honda Formula 1 team scored its first podium since 2006 with Rubens Barrichello finishing in third position at Silverstone. The Brazilian and his team were over the moon with the team's podium finish and hopes to continue its way up to the top in this weekend's German Grand Prix.

The Honda F1 team completed a three-day test at Hockenheim last weekend. The test was used to test a number of new aerodynamic parts on the team's car. "Following the test at Hockenheim last week, we will be introducing the next step of aerodynamic, mechanical and engine performance upgrades for the RA108," Honda F1 team boss Ross Brawn said. "The test allowed our engineers to gain a better understanding of our recent lack of qualifying pace, so we will be aiming for an improvement on our grid positions as the foundation for a strong race performance. With changeable weather predicted for the weekend, it could be an interesting race."

Last week's podium finish was obviously a big boost for Honda but the team remains calm and realistic. Brawn said: "Our first podium of the season was of course a big morale boost, however it would be unrealistic to expect a repeat of this result in dry track conditions."
