Honda Racing F1 today continued development of the reluctant RA107, with Rubens Barrichello improving by 0.3s, despite losing an engine just half an hour into the day.
Driving in the morning session only, Barrichello lapped at 1:36.563, an improvement on yesterday's times but a massive 1.303s off the stunning pace of Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen. Despite suffering an engine failure early on, the Brazilian still managed to complete 36 laps in the first session.
The afternoon saw Jenson Button taking over the car, completing just 24 laps after lunch. A best time of 1:36.614 left him trialling the Finnish pace setter by 1.349 seconds.
Both Honda's also finished behind the Super Aguri of Takuma Sato, using a modified version of last years RA106. The popular Japanese driver completed a best time over a quarter of a second faster than Barrichello.
