Ross Brawn, team principal of the Honda F1 team, appears to have confirmed that both Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello will remain as the teams race drivers for the 2009 season.
In an interview for ‘F1.com’, Brawn explains that the problems with the team lie in the car, not the drivers, and when asked if the same two men would be driving for him next year answered simply ‘yes’.
Barrichello is now the longest serving F1 driver in the sport, and of all time, while Button has made no secret of the fact that he sees the team as the place to be in coming years.
Honda are thought by many to be in a positive situation with regard to the introduction of KERS energy saving systems in F1 next year, as the company is already working on a system for the coming season.
No official announcement is yet forthcoming, but we will update you as soon as we hear further.
