The team did not score any points in the following six races, but more positively, the car's reliability was proving to be good. The team did have chances to gain points, however, at Monaco and Canada. In Monaco, Honda had their most competitive race up to that point but they were on the wrong strategy and required to pit an extra time, resigning them to a pointless race. At Canada, Barrichello could have finished as high as 3rd but was again on the wrong strategy which required him to pit an extra time dropping him to 12th.
