Having just completed the back-to-back Grands Prix weekends in Montreal and Indianapolis, the Honda Racing F1 Team returned to the test track yesterday at the Circuit de Jerez in southern Spain, to prepare for the forthcoming European races. Christian Klien conducted an installation day to shakedown a number of new mechanical parts.

The test proper gets underway tomorrow when Jenson Button will spend two days conducting a more detailed evaluation of the new mechanical and aerodynamic parts for the Honda RA107 car.

Weather conditions for this opening day were warm and sunny. The circuit had relatively low grip in the morning session due to a motorcycle event held over the weekend but the track surface did improve throughout the day.

Christian’s programme for this opening day was running through various electronic controls settings and completing a number of race start simulations. He completed 77 laps over the course of the day.
