Lucky Strike BAR Honda lead driver Jenson Button joined the test team at Silverstone on Tuesday for the second day of the four-day test. The British driver took over driving duties of the 2004 Concept car from Takuma Sato who had set the fastest lap time at the home of the British Grand Prix on Monday. Jenson's objectives were to continue preparations for Melbourne and to complete further Michelin tyre testing.

He completed 82 laps during the day and his best morning lap time of 1:19.673 remained the fastest of the day.

Jenson will continue in the 2004 Concept car on Wednesday when he will be joined by Anthony Davidson who will drive the latest BAR Honda 006.
