About the BAR 006
The 006 was British American Racing's 2004 car, a Geoff Willis design powered by Honda's RA004E V10 and run on Michelin tyres. Jenson Button scored six podiums in the first eight races, including his first in Malaysia, and took his first pole position at Imola. Takuma Sato's podium at Indianapolis was the first for a Japanese driver since 1990, and he ended the year eighth in the standings. The car scored 11 podiums and one pole without winning a race, and after a close fight with Renault the team finished second to Ferrari in the Constructors' Championship.
