Honda F1 retain Button and Barrichello for 2008

Thursday, July 19, 2007, 21:17 [IST]

NUERBURGRING, Germany, July 19 (Reuters) Honda will continue in 2008 with an unchanged lineup of Briton Jenson Button and Brazilian Rubens Barrichello, the Formula One team said today.

The announcement maintains the pairing for a third consecutive year and means Barrichello can also look forward to breaking Italian Riccardo Patrese's record of 256 Formula One race starts.

The Brazilian, who joined Honda from Ferrari in 2006, will be starting his 243rd race in Sunday's European Grand Prix. Button joined the team in 2003.

Honda have struggled this season, after Button took his first win in Hungary last August, with just one point from nine races so far.
