Honda Racing F1's Rubens Barrichello is suffering from a drop in morale, despite finally scoring a couple of points in last weeks Australian Grand Prix.
Still struggling with the Honda RA106 in hotter temperatures, and specifically the switch to Michelin tyres from the Bridgestone's he was used to at Ferrari, the Brazilian admits that the situation is affecting him.
Writing on his personal website, Barrichello commented "People ask me about my morale. My morale isn't that good, but the important thing is my high spirits. I am sure I will be able get back on my feet soon enough."
Rubens now heads to Barcelona for testing, where it's hoped that some further changes to the Honda electronics will help the driver adjust.
