7 February: B嫂愛 Honda to run Nelson Piquet Junior in Jerez
Nelson Piquet
Junior will join Lucky Strike B嫂愛 Honda in Jerez this week where he will have the opportunity to drive a B嫂愛 Honda 006
car during the first day of the team's test programme.
Piquet Junior, 2004 British Formula 3 champion and one of motorsport's
rising stars, will join B嫂愛 Honda at the Circuito de Jerez in Southern Spain on Tuesday 8 February, where the team will continue
to focus on its intensive pre-season development programme with all four of its regular drivers.
British based "Nelsinho",
the nineteen year old son of three-times Formula One World Champion Nelson Piquet, was extended this opportunity in recognition of
his achievements in British Formula 3 last year, in which he became the youngest-ever winner of the series in October 2004.
This
opportunity enables Nelsinho to continue the long-standing association between the Piquet name and Honda, as his father won seven of
his twenty-three victories with a Honda powered team.
