The team's second consecutive week of testing at the Jerez circuit in Southern Spain began this morning, with third driver Anthony Davidson and Honda Racing F1 Team Young Driver Adam Carroll.

The team will be testing for four days this week concluding with a Michelin wet weather test on Saturday. The weather is much cooler than last week with ambient temperatures reaching only 12°c by lunchtime.

Davidson and Carroll were driving the two Concept cars 078-07 and 078-08 respectively. Davidson ran through an early aero evaluation before concentrating on chassis set-up work, completing a total of 49 laps in the morning session.

Carroll had his first drive in a V8-engined car and began acclimatising himself to the interim machine and the circuit before running through an early aero programme, completing 43 laps.

A series of interruptions caused by circuit red lights and a light rain shower interrupted the afternoon running. Davidson continued to work through his programme from the morning session completing a further 44 laps, bringing his total for the day to 93 laps, while Carroll took on some engine set-up work completing a further 42 laps -- 85 in total for the day.
