Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello continued their running for Honda Racing F1 for the final day of the test in Monza yesterday. The planned morning test programme was unfortunately interrupted when both drivers experienced different engine problems, the causes of which are currently being investigated.

Despite this, both drivers were able to make good progress with their morning schedules with Jenson running through a tyre programme and Rubens completing electronic settings work as well a short aero evaluation.

This work was continuing into the afternoon session when a problem with the rear suspension caused Jenson to leave the track at Parabolica and hit the barrier.
