Button and Davidson on track – Jerez test day one
The Honda Racing F1 Team is back in Jerez this week for the
second test of the year.
Jenson Button and Anthony Davidson began the test programme
this morning with Rubens Barrichello joining the test from
tomorrow.
A very cold start to the morning with a track temperature
of only 4°c limited the drivers to installation laps only.
However, by 10.30am the temperatures had warmed up sufficiently
to allow both drivers to start their testing programmes.
Davidson completed a couple of set-up runs followed by an
aero evaluation in the morning session, completing 42 laps.
He ran through a tyre evaluation and further aero work in
the afternoon, covering 92 laps to take his lap tally for
the day to a very impressive 134 laps. Davidson set the third
fastest time of the day – a 01:18.669.
Button completed 97 laps in total today. He also ran through
tyre and aerodynamic evaluations, following a similar programme
to Davidson, and set the fastest time of the day – a
01:18.338.
