The Honda Racing F1 Team's final test before the start of the 2006 season began in Valencia this morning (Tuesday) with third driver Anthony Davidson due to be driving for all three days.

Anthony had a productive morning starting with early set-up runs in chassis RA106-02 before beginning a tyre evaluation programme. He completed 60 laps in the morning session.

Anthony went back out after the circuit lunch break to finish the tyre evaluation, followed by a second tyre programme evaluating options for the forthcoming races.

Anthony's final lap count for the day was an impressive 146 laps, completing the full test programme and setting the second fastest time of the day – a 1:10.522.
