If a manager is fired for inactivity, then all of the points deducted and fines implemented will be rescinded once a new manager takes his place.

McLaren Still on top in Barcelona
Seeing as McLaren have won the last four races you probably wouldn't be blamed for wanting to see a change in the status quo this weekend in Barcelona. However, the early indication is that you may well be disappointed as Ryan Briscoe and Kimi Raikkonen once again lead the way in free practice by a relatively comfortable margin. Further back however, there were signs that the balance in the midfield is beginning to tip slightly with Gary Paffett up in 4th in his Super Aguri with his team mate, Glock, in 8th. Off the back of his podium at the Nurburgring, Davidson might be slightly disappointed to finish the session 10th as might Fernando Alonso, who currently sits 3rd in the drivers championship, who could only manage 14th. Right at the back however Michael Schumacher will certainly be very disappointed with his 20th place, as will Cristiano Da Matta in 21st whilst Satoshi Motoyama rounded off the field.

Usually teams just state which tyre manufacturer they'll be using next season and then tyres are provided free of charge.
However, considering 2006 was Michelin's final season in F1 the choice is much easier for next season

2006 Spanish GP Qualifying
Q1
As the cars took to the track for the first part of the qualifying hour there were very few who were surprised by the first six drivers to drop out of the session. By far the most surprising of the lot however was the loss of Juan Pablo Montoya who posted the 5th fastest time in free practice yesterday, whilst loss of Andre Lotterer also raised a few eyebrows. The six drivers who dropped out of Q1 were Frentzen in 22nd, Da Matta in 21st, Vettel in 20th, Montoya in 19th, Ralf Schumacher in 18th and Lotterer in 17th.
Q2
Q2 again passed with relatively few surprises with the most important event of the session befalling Hekki Kovalainen who, shortly after posting the 6th fastest time, suffered a water leak so whilst he qualified for Q3, he was unable to take part. Overall, in Q2 we lossed Villeneuve in 16th, Webber in 15th, Leinders in 14th, Michael Schumacher in 13th, Verstappen in 12th and Davidson in 11th. This left both Heidfeld, Montagny, Button, Alonso, Kovalainen, Glock, Raikkonen, Kubica, Massa, Coulthard in the hunt for pole position
Q3
With Kovalainen unable to take part in Q3 the 9 remaining drivers all took the the track for the final ten minutes of the qualifying hour to fight it out for pole position. As has been for the past few races, it was the McLaren's who stole the show with Robert Kubica just pipping his team mate to pole position. Meanwhile Timo Glock put in a superb lap to take 3rd in his Super Aguri as did Coulthard who put his BMW into 4th, meanwhile the Toro Rossos rounded off the nine runners in 8th and 9th respectively.
