OXFORD racing driver James Rossiter has again been assisting Brackley's Honda Racing F1 Team in testing for the San Marino Grand Prix at Imola in two weeks' time.

The three-day test at the Vallelunga circuit in Italy saw Jenson Button, Anthony Davidson and Rossiter focusing on chassis set-up work, tyre programmes and running the latest specification engine.

Rossiter and Davidson began the test on Tuesday morning with both drivers concentrating on chassis set-up and tyre evaluations to address the tyre issues encountered in the Australian Grand Prix and weigh up the options for the San Marino Grand Prix.

Davidson completed 120 laps, setting the fastest time of the day, with Rossiter covering 132 laps.

After flying in from the Australian Grand Prix, Button joined the team on Wednesday, taking over the testing responsibilities from Rossiter.

The test programme concluded on Thursday with Button continuing his chassis set-up development, alongside a tyre programme looking at the best options from Wednesday's running.

Rossiter said: "We had a very good and constructive day on Tuesday. I ran through various set-up options on the car and also completed a tyre programme in the afternoon looking at options for the next race. Overall the day went smoothly and we were able to cover a lot of mileage."

Mark Ellis, chief engineer for vehicle performance, said: "We have had an extremely constructive test this week, with our priorities focused on understanding the issues that affected our race performance during the Australian Grand Prix. Our aim is clearly to carry our qualifying performance into the race to help us to deliver our goals. We are optimistic that our efforts this week, coupled with the many new components to be tested next week in Barcelona, will achieve this in Imola."
