Jenson Button
Honda has topped a list of the biggest winter testers in formula one, with a staggering tally of nearly 22 thousand kms. :thumbup:
The Japan-owned, Brackley based outfit - with Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello also impressing on the near-daily time sheets - appear a full four thousand kms clear of McLaren, in the list of total mileage tallied up since late November 2005.
Renault is third (17,200km), ahead of Toyota (15,000km), Williams (13,000km), BMW Sauber (11,600km), Red Bull (7100km), MF1 (6600km) and Toro Rosso (5000km).
The list's two omissions, compiled by Sir Frank Williams' Grove based team, is Ferrari - the only team resisting a new voluntary test limit - and Super Aguri, who make their proper track debut in Spain next week.
While some drivers who wear scarlet might have figured in the running, then, it is nonetheless Honda's Button (8700km) on top of the list of drivers who have had the busiest winter, followed by Pedro de la Rosa (7500km) of McLaren. :thumbdown
