HRF1 (MONACO) - FREE PRACTICE COMMENTS

The Honda Racing F1 Team today commenced its preparations for Sunday's Monaco Grand Prix, Formula One's 'jewel in the crown' which is held on the famous tight and twisting Monte Carlo street circuit. Rubens Barrichello and Jenson Button geared up for the weekend by achieving plenty of laps in today's two free practice sessions, to fine-tune the RA107 to suit the unique set of challenges presented by this circuit. They ended the day in 11th and 12th positions respectively. RUBENS BARRICHELLO "As is always the case here, the track was very dirty today. The teams are all trying different things so it's hard to get a true idea of where we are in the field.
