Button joins test as rain hampers development
By BAR Honda
March 25 2005
Jenson Button joined Lucky Strike BAR Honda on Thursday morning for the second day of the team's current test at Paul Ricard, taking over chassis 007-01 from Anthony Davidson.
He completed three short familiarisation runs over 17 laps before a heavy rain downpour halted the planned dry programme.
Anthony, meanwhile, replaced Enrique Bernoldi in the second BAR Honda chassis – his schedule was to run through a tyre evaluation. However he, too, was forced to stop after 17 laps due to the wet conditions.
The circuit dried out in the afternoon allowing Jenson to complete a short run on shallow wet tyres before moving onto an aerodynamic programme alongside engine development work. Jenson’s final lap tally for today was 74 laps.
Anthony spent the afternoon session continuing the tyre evaluation which he began this morning to complete a total of 44 laps today. The team is now hoping for better conditions today.
