Honda - Day one testing action from Jerez
 The
first day of Honda Racing F1 Team's 2006 testing programme
began at the Circuito de Jerez in Southern Spain this morning.
The weather was fine but very cold initially, which meant
there was little running on track before 11am. As a result,
Anthony Davidson worked through system checks in chassis 078-08
in the early part of the morning before going out on track
in warmer conditions to run through basic set-up work and
find a good balance in the car. Davidson spent the afternoon
session running through a tyre evaluation and completed his
full test programme over an impressive 113 laps.
In chassis 078-07, James Rossiter also spent the early part
of the morning in the garage completing system checks. Once
out on track he ran through a front aero evaluation. Rossiter
completed a further aero evaluation in the afternoon alongside
a tyre programme, completing 105 laps today.
Davidson will continue in chassis 078-08 tomorrow, with new
driver Rubens Barrichello joining the team for his first test.
Barrichello will drive the 2005 chassis 007-06 before moving
into chassis 078-07.
NB: Michael Schumacher is driving a 2004 Ferrari chassis
with a V8 engine
