The Honda Racing F1 Team continued its test programme at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona yesterday with Jenson Button joining the test for the second day of running, alongside Rubens Barrichello.

Both Jenson and Rubens concentrated on chassis set-up and aero evaluations in the two RA107 cars today, completing 91 laps and 87 laps respectively.

Barrichello lapped the Catalunya circuit in 1:22.669, 1.488s behind the pace of the day's fastest runner, Ferrari's Felipe Massa, putting him 13th out of 18 runners. Button was less than two tenths behind, in 14th.

Testing continues in Barcelona today, with both race drivers continuing development.
