That's good news if you have a week off, we're patient as always.

2006 United States Grand Prix



Lights out and away we go



Webber leads into turn 1



A night mare start for Hamilton, who drops to 6th



He's now behind Button and Coulthard



Karthikeyan is up to 11th



End of lap 1 and Hamilton eyes up Coulthard in 5th



And gets the job done



Here's a look at the top 8



Fisichella runs into the back of Coulthard



And spins the Williams



That demotes him to the back as his torrid season continues



Hamilton has a run on Button



And passes his fellow Brit for 4th



Problems for Da Matta?



He collided with Massa! Both drop down the order



Massa's teammate Adrian Sutil looks to pass Sato



And does into turn 1



Schumacher flies past Coulthard



The Scot just didn't have the horsepower to defend the place



Sutil is now looking for a way past Karthikeyan



But the Super Aguri is defending well



Still trying a lap later



It all ends in tears on lap 10 though as Karthikeyan is punted off!



He drops to 14th



Montoya is the latest driver to pass Coulthard



Too easy that



The Red Bull driver undoes all his hard work 2 laps later though



He drops to 10th



Webber is starting to open up a gap out front



Massa has a look down the inside of Karthikeyan



Never a doubt



Trulli on Raikkonen?



The Italian is through for 8th



Here's the top 8 after 20



Is that a Ferrari having problems?



It is! A water leak ends Michael Schumacher's race



Montoya looks to pass Raikkonen



And is through easily



Problems for Heidfeld



He's out with a throttle problem



Alonso pits but can he come out ahead of Button's Toyota



Only just!!



A look at the current top 8



Button is now up into 3rd after the stops



Massa looks to pass his teammate



Job done



Glock's got what looks to be an engine issue



He's spinning on the oil!



But he's rejoined in Karthikeyan's path



He's out, Karthikeyan will pit



Alonso is really reeling in Webber!

As his teammate looks to pass Hamilton



Jarno is through



4 laps later it's Raikkonen's turn



Is Hamilton also suffering with technical problems?



The gap at the front is now less than a second



Here's the top 8



Webber pits from the lead



Montoya is close to Hamilton



Hamilton defends as he looks to pass



And keeps the place



Hamilton is being blocked by a Toro Rosso!



And Montoya is through! Ferrari will be fuming with what could have been team orders there



Alonso pits, has he done enough?



He has! Alonso passes Webber for what will be 1st



Not good for his teamamte though, he's out



Transmission failure for Trulli



Button is right on the back of Webber



The top 8



Looks like Alonso could be hitting traffic! Will this give Webber a chance?



Or will Button pass Webber?



Grosjean has held Webber up so Alonso can race off into the distance



The gap is now over 3 seconds



Alonso wins the United States Grand Prix, he's right back in the title mix now



Webber is 2nd



And Button makes it 2 Toyota's on the podium

LETS GO!! Absolute masterclass of a drive from Fernando, and the strategy was also excellent. Shame about Jarno, the failure gifted SHamilton and Ferrari an extra position and we lost some ground to Toyota in the WCC.

Fine driving from Massa despite falling down the order. Not impressed with Sutil, but that contact with Karthikeyan was just a racing incident.

Once again a solid display by the number 1 drivers, Juan Pablo and David truly done it right. Is there a possibility to exchange the number 2 drivers with the test drivers? It's absolutely ludicrous that all the teams points come from David and JP.

If you are racing, keep on racing and get some points!

Yes that can be done

BMW Sauber

Great day, but not the result we've wanted. Heidfeld's problems have yet again gone to him, and it looks like it has a throttle problem which is a shame for him. Also for Ralf he did a outstanding job to take 4th place and hold on as a championship leader. It won't be easy for him as there are Toyota's to be a threat of Ralf so we need to improve pretty much quickly in next races.

Super Aguri

Shame, we were right there to score our first points. Karthikeyan made a mistake on his own and that really ruins him an opportunity to score point and yeah it wasn't enough. For Speed 13th place is good and awesome, shows our car is improving a little bit and hopefully if that stays same we can even fight for points in some remaining races.

Toyota

A fantastic race for us. Obviously we would have liked to win it but a 2-3 is just as good.

INBOX FULL!!!!!

Mid Season Test

With the exception of Twigster, who has a full inbox, you should all have received PMs in regards to the upcoming mid season test. If you could all reply with your choice as soon as possible please I'd be grateful Thanks

Activity Check Results

Afternoon all. I've just completed a long overdue activity check and can confirm the results.

For each race weekend where a manager has been present they have received a point.

Toyota - 10/10
BMW - 10/10
Ferrari - 10/10
Renault - 10/10
Toro Rosso - 10/10
Honda - 10/10
Williams - 7/10
Red Bull -10/10
Mclaren - 0/10
Super Aguri - 10/10
Midland - 6/10

As you can see, we are not having much luck with Mclaren managers!! However, only 3 times did not hit 10/10 so for that I want to thank each and everyone of you for continuing to be active and support the series.

Mid Season Testing Plans

With the test due to happen in 4 races time (3 of which have been run), I still need testing plans of a number of managers. So far I have plans for four out of the eleven teams.

BMW Sauber

Seems a really great day for us, with our guys both in top 6 it shows that our car looks to be improving. Hopefully we can manage a great result here and fight for a podium. Nick 4th and Pedro 6th, we might be in a mix for a challenging weekend.

Super Aguri

Pretty satisfying day, with Montagny 15th and Karthikeyan 19th we're pretty much satisfied with the result. Qualifying will be tough for us and we may see some other teams turning up their engines and it will be difficult to reach those same positions.

Toyota

Another great session for Mark. He really is proving to be a hell of a signing for us and hopefully he can continue his push for the drivers title. Jacques was a bit disappointing this afternoon, we expect better from him.

Honda
Nothing to say.

BMW Sauber

It's a pole for Ralf! Another outstanding performance for the German to start on the front at French GP. Difference to Nick is 3 tenths, but he's hoping for a good revenge for some points. Also the Top 3 are close to Ralf's pole position, which means we're possibly ready for what it will be exciting French GP.

Super Aguri

18th and 20th looks to be ok to us as we're improving little bit in terms of the pace. Race will be tough for us because some other cars will be faster and we probably need to keep improving and close on the midfield.

2006 French Grand Prix



Here we go, 70 laps of the French Grand Prix, Ralf Schumacher on pole.



Away we go

Race leader Michael Schumacher is off! I repeat, Schumacher is off!



He's out of the race!



Here's a look at the top 8 after that



Fisichella is right behind Ralf Schumacher



8 laps later and Fisi is still behind



He dives into the pits



Hamilton is all over the back of Glock



Glock is holding firm for now



Fisichella is approaching the back of Alonso



But Alonso then runs wide
