The Honda Racing F1 Team resumed its testing programme yesterday at the Valencia circuit in Spain. Rubens Barrichello and James Rossiter were on testing duties in the new RA107 and the RA106 cars respectively.

Overnight rain and cold temperatures meant that the running was limited this morning as the team waited for the track to dry out, although both drivers were able to complete a couple of short runs on wet tyres.

With the circuit drying by late afternoon, Rubens and James were able to go out on dry tyres and work on the balance of their cars. Rubens completed a total of 33 laps with James running for 48 laps.

Both drivers will continue running in their respective cars for the second day of the test today.
