Super Aguri and Honda continued their three day test at Jerez today.
James Rossiter continued for the Leafield-based team, completing 66 laps in total as he worked on control systems tuning and development in the morning then setup work around the rear suspension in the afternoon.
In ideal conditions, Rossiter completed 66 laps, the Englishman's fastest was 1:20.960 set at the end of the day.
Anthony Davidson will conclude the team's test tomorrow.
Jenson Button was scheduled to drive the Honda but arrived in Jerez not fully recovered from a slight back complaint believed to have been caused during his first corner incident during the race at Indianapolis on Sunday. The team therefore took the decision to allow Jenson further time to recover with Christian Klien deputising today.
Following an installation day shaking down the new mechanical parts yesterday, Klien spent today's running completing a more detailed evaluation of various aerodynamic and mechanical updates for the RA107, completing a total of 61 laps.
Button will be back in the car tomorrow for the final day of the test.
