F1 Manager Revised 2006 Season - We have a winner! Season complete

Ferrari
Aich, that's a very, very poor race from our side. We didn't live up to the tifosi's expectations to at least finish on the podium. I'm still a bit baffled by the two accidents but luckily both drivers said that they're fine.

Damn, Trulli's retirement is very frustrating. Could've gotten some nice points for the team. But it wasn't a bad race at all, with Fernando second despite a spin. Who knows, had it not been for the spin may have won.
AI errors seemed to be too damn high for this circuit..
Also loving the drivers' championship, Fernando right in the mix now

You're probably right, AI errors are too damn high that causes frustration and destroying our chances to win.

Honda
Great weekend for the whole team. Both drivers are very pleased with the race result, but Massa says that he's a bit disappointed to lose out on a podium spot.

I´m not a manager, but I continue to look the series, because is cool.
This is one of the reasons that I resigned to be a manager. Since the first race, the high end drivers spins or errors are too high, looks too artificial. Also with almost every driver crashes or overtakes.

Interesting that you didn't raise this concern before you resigned :/ I've just been using whatever the default is in the 2006 track pack

It´s not a concern or complain. But was the true. I´m studying and working, so I have no much time to invest in a manager for a while, so I continue to look the series sometimes
There is something strange in the default performance drivers or track, but looks a lot cool man! It is cool because the races are unpredictable , so it's much more interesting! :-D I mean, when is a lot unpredictable, I would have to invest a much more time that I don´t have now...

Looking forward the next races :D

Let's look forward to the next races, some races can go unpredictable. I hope some next races can be good for BMW and Super Aguri (us)

I'll look into it for the next race that needs running which is Canada. Any suggestions on what it should be?

depends on the track layout. I'd say put it like 50-70% of what it was.

2006 European Grand Prix - Free Practice

Renault's Fernando Alonso was quickest in practice, setting a time of 1:30.144 ahead of the Williams of Giancarlo Fisichella and the Red Bull of Juan-Pablo Montoya.

BMW Sauber

Good session so far for BMW, Ralf 6th and Pedro 8th. The pace is there actually and we're just not too far away from the top but we might improve more. Also we hope quali could be good for us but we don't expect some miracles.

Super Aguri

The car is pretty good at the moment, with our drivers Montagny 17th and Speed 20th. It was kinda interesting FP session for us being ahead of 4 cars, but coming into qualifying it won't change completely as it may be so we expect to be still from the back of the grid.

Great FP!! Hopefully in quali too

Good performance from Sutil. Wurz hasn't impressed us much, but we hope that Sutil makes his performance even better in qualifying.

Frustrating San Marino GP for us, hopefully the Nurburgring can bring us a better result.

2006 European Grand Prix - Qualifying

Lewis Hamilton will line up alongside teammate Michael Schumacher as the two Ferrari's secured a front row lockout ahead of Mark Webber in the Toyota and Ralf Schumacher in the BMW. Super Aguri impressed, managing to not finish last for the first time this season.

Honda
Not a good qualifying session for us, just 0.040 tenths behind the 10th-placed driver. And Sutil didn't impress us again.

yeah...this'll be another race down the drain..

BMW Sauber

Although it's a great qualifying for us with Ralf 4th in 2nd row and Nick's luck isn't looking too good at the moment. Hope he fights for the points this race.

Super Aguri

It was great day for us being ahead of two cars and we're pretty happy. Although the race won't be easy for us but getting in the points will be difficult.
