Motorsport Art Exhibition and Honda testing
Rubens Barrichello, who makes his Honda debut at the Bahrain Grand Prix in a month`s time, will open the Motorsport Art Exhibition at the Bahrain National Museum on Monday.
In the presence of His Highness the Crown Prince Shaikh Salman bin Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, Barrichello was asked to officially open the month-long exhibition of international and Bahraini art dedicated to the sport, which will take pride of place amid the splendour of Bahrain’s heritage and culture at the museum.

The event will provide Rubens Barichello with a break from the hectic routine of testing at the Bahrain International Circuit as momentum builds towards the Grand Prix.

"The 2006 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix cannot come soon enough for me," said Barrichello. "It marks the start of my competition career with the Honda Racing F1 Team and I am really looking forward to working with them and hopefully putting in a strong performance."

"Bahrain is a very special place, it has embraced Formula One and the welcome we receive is always amazing. The testing work we shall be putting in will be really valuable in making sure that we are as strong as we can be for the race, but also it is another welcome opportunity to see Bahrain and meet our hosts."

The Motorsport Art Exhibition is part of the Yalla Bahrain ! programme of events put together under the patronage of the Bahrain Economic Development Board.
