The highly successful German has spent the last two seasons at Williams, however he's decided to sign a one-year deal with the Enstone-based outfit, reportedly worth around £16m. Williams also made moves to retain their driver, but Schumacher decided upon a new challenge.
In other news, Brembo increase their supply portfolio for 2007 with Honda and Midland signing deals with the Italian company.

Kimi was once again let down by the car, and Robert was struggling to get up to speed ever since the qualifying started. The only good thing about this race is that our immediate rivals didn't score any points either.

A good race for Nico. We're glad that he could bring home some important points. For Marc it was very unfortunate that he got into this trouble. Otherwise a double points finish might have been possible. But we're on a good way so far.
On another note we expect Renault to be really strong next season with this driver lineup. Schumacher and Alonso might be two of the best drivers of the time, so they should do really well.

A very bad result for the team, despite two cars finishing no points ... it's unacceptable!
If you are racing, keep on racing and get some points!

Da Matta Tops Hungarian Free Practice
With the German Grand Prix now behind us the teams were back into action at the Hungaroring for Free Practice ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix. In a slight turn up for the books however, it was Cristiano Da Matta who topped the session in his Toyota, three tenths clear of Davidson in second. Further down the field, Gary Paffett followed up with his successful debut in Germany with the fourth best time of the session, both Williams made it into the top eight whilst both Verstappen and Kubica struggled to get to grips with the track with the pair ending the session in 18th and 19th.

Red Bull disappointed of the F(IA)
"We are happy with Marc's performance, and grabbing third. Nico was behind our expectations. However, despite Marc's performance we are unhappy that Sebastian wasn't allowed to start here in the practice. We had figured out a massive test program for him which had to be canceled because of the strange decision that was made here. We still haven't heard a reason, so far, why Sebastian wasn't allowed to drive. This added to the driver confusion at the Jerez test, convinces us that we'll have to have a word with the F(IA)."
((I announced a while back that Vettel and Rosberg would be driving the practice sessions, and I think also the Jerez test. After the test I didn't complain, yet, only mentioned it in my post-test report. But Vettel was degraded to test driver to gain some experience during these tests. And since he won't participate in the race, this means another session where he couldn't gain any experience. So please correct this for the next race, thank you))

Just where the hell did our pace go? The updates we brought to this GP don't work at all, hopefully we'll be able to fix this until the qualifying.
Also, if anyone has seen our Testdriver Ryan Briscoe, please send him back to us. He should've taken part in the Free Practice instead of Kimi, but he was nowhere to be found.

Apologies for the errors guys, made the rookie error of updating a pre-Hockenheim perf file and completely forgot the driver changes. Needless to say I've already updated the perfs accordingly for Istanbul and added perf points for taking part in FP to your preferred drivers. Although for what it's worth John I do have it in writing that you wanted Webber and Vettel to test in Jerez.
