Impressive mileage from Honda
Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello took to the track yesterday, continuing the intensive pre-season testing at Jerez, with Button completing an impressive 139 laps.
It was a cold but sunny start to the morning although ambient temperatures increased to 21¢ªC by early afternoon. Barrichello and Button had the driving responsibilities today in chassis RA106-02 and chassis RA106-01 respectively. Both drivers spent the morning session setting up their cars as the circuit had quite low grip following two weeks of MotoGP testing.

In the afternoon session, Button ran through a tyre evaluation programme over longer runs, alongside an aero evaluation. He completed a very impressive 139 laps today, setting the second fastest time - a 1:18.242s.

Barrichello spent the afternoon working through a race simulation exercise followed by a short tyre evaluation, completing 114 laps and managing the third fastest time - a 1:18.609s.
