Team make changes to the RA108 in hope of better performances

Honda are hoping that the changes they made to the RA108 over the mid-season break will bring about better performances from their drivers. This decision follows recent below-par form from Honda team-mates Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello. The duo have failed to provide a win so far this season and lie in 17th and 12th place respectively. Team principal Ross Brawn believes the team now need to race well in qualifying if they are to stand a chance of finishing in a top position in Belgium. He said: "We have made a significant step forward with the RA108 over the summer break, however we were not able to convert that potential into a strong qualifying and race performance in Valencia which was disappointing. "Our priority for the Belgian Grand Prix weekend will be to optimise those performance steps and improve our qualifying performance to give Jenson and Rubens the best possible chance of a good result."
