Jenson Button joined the Honda Racing F1 Team at the Circuito de Jerez in Spain this morning for the third and final day of the test.

After a couple of early acclimatisation runs, he ran through a tyre programme evaluating various rear tyre options, before moving onto a chassis set-up programme. An early afternoon engine failure cost Jenson some running time in the afternoon session, although he was able to complete a total of 94 laps today and set the second fastest time – a 01:17.162.

In chassis RA106-02, Rubens concentrated on further evaluation of the French Grand Prix aero package, followed by a tyre compound evaluation also for the Magny-Cours race. He completed a total of 94 laps today.
