Following a short break after the season-opening Australian Grand Prix, the Honda Racing F1 Team arrived in Kuala Lumpur at the beginning of this week to begin preparations for Round Two of the 2007 FIA Formula One World Championship, the Malaysian Grand Prix in Sepang.
The first official F1 test was held at the Sepang International Circuit this week as the Honda team continued the development programme for the RA107 race car in the hot and humid conditions which make Malaysia one of the toughest and most physically demanding stops on the F1 calendar.
SHUHEI NAKAMOTO - Senior Technical Director
“At the Sepang test this week we focused our efforts on evaluating the aerodynamic developments for the RA107 alongside work on braking stability and general mechanical set-up. Although we were unable to realise our potential in Australia, we are confident that the RA107 is fundamentally a good car and expect to be able to make good technical progress with it in a wide range of areas. We will use the next few races to improve to a more competitive level. “
