Honda plan car update at Japanese Grand Prix

The Honda Formula 1 team is suffering from a difficult season at the moment. Their RA107 is unable to score points on a regular basis unlike last season when Jenson Button even scored his first win in Formula One. The team now revealed they will have a major upgrade planned at Honda's home Grand Prix in Japan.

Speaking with Autosport Honda's engineer director Jacky Eeckelaert explained: "The Fuji upgrade was always planned for the last three races. But now with the arrival of the new guys in the aero department it will be different from what we originally planned, because we have new philosophies and different concepts from their previous teams.

"And they want to try those out on this year's car – even though this year's car has been designed around another concept. Nevertheless, they want to give it another try. And why not? Where we are in the championship, it doesn't make any difference."
