Honda boost power
The Honda team have said that a new generation of their engine is to be made available to the drivers for this weekend's 'home' event.
The engine apparently has more horsepower and better torque , the torque will be what helps the teams this weekend, as some of the corners at Silverstone can be quite torque happy.
It is believed that the upgrade may not make the team front runners, but with some luck could get Button and Barichelo towards the podium.

Honda fixed and upgraded
Apparently so! Honda have announced that they have put 'countermeasures' on the engine to stop button blowing his RA806E V8 up again.
The other news is that the Imola engine will be a step up in power, and the team have completed 3500 kilometer's of testing and hope they have found and fixed some of the tyre heating issues.
Button covered the most distance at the last test in Barcelona, so hopefully the Honda team can show some pace in the race, instead of just in Saturday qualifying.
