2006 Gran Premio Foster's di San Marino - Race
Part 1
It's race day, finally! Hello everyone to todays 4th race of the 2006 Formula 1 season. Before the race starts, lets have a quick look at the starting grid, as it have been some days since the qualifying took place. For the third time this year Jenson Button will start from pole position, alongside him Ralf Schumacher in the Toyota. In the second row we have Button's teammate Alonso in 3rd, and Robert Kubica in the McLaren in 4th. Behind them both BMW-Saubers in row 3, and the Ferraris in row 4. In row 5 we have Frentzen in 9th and Montagny in 10th. Row 6 is occupied by the both Super Aguris, who showed a strong performance in quali. Behind them reigning world champion Michael Schumacher alongside Mark Webber in the Red Bull. Heidfeld follows in 15, then da Matta, Davidson and Lotterer. Current championship leader Kimi Raikkonen is only in 19th place, together with him in row 10 is Bas Leinders. In the last row there are Vettel in 21st and Villeneuve in 22nd.
The cars are now coming back from the formation lap and lining up the grid, so we go straight to the track for the start of the race!
The red lights are off, here they go!
Ralf Schumacher tries to take the lead, and Kubica attacks Alonso for 3rd
Side by side into turn 1!
And Schumacher takes the lead!
Kubica up in 3rd
Lotterer has gained two places and is now in 16th
Ralf Schumacher leading, at the track where he won his first GP back in 2001
Coulthard and Montoya have kept their positions
Kubica now trying to pass Button, but the Brit has the better line and stays in front
Glock in 10th up one place, his teammate Kovalainen has lost 2 and is now in 14th
Leinders passes his teammate for 18th
Webber with a first try to pass Schumacher, but the German keeps his position
Kubica in 2nd!
Here's a replay of what has happened: He passed Button going into the Villeneuve chicane
The two Renaults now in 3rd and 4th
Ralf Schumacher leading, with Kubica behind him now
Raikkonen, who lost 2 places at the start, has passed Vettel in the Variante Alta
Fastest lap for Kubica
He has already closed up to Schumacher
That's Coulthard! His rear wing is damaged
The replay shows that he went off in the Villeneuve chicane
Raikkonen now back in 19th after passing Davidson, again in the Variante Alta
3 laps done, these are the current standings
Raikkonen fighting his way through the field, passing da Matta in the Tamburello
Lotterer attacking Heidfeld, and behind them Kovalainen and Leinders are fighting for 15th place
Heidfeld can stay ahead of Lotterer, but Kovalainen drops back behind Leinders
The battle for the lead
Leinders now right behind Lotterer, and Raikkonen has closed the gap to Kovalainen
Kubica leads! We're waiting for the replay to show us how he passed Schumacher
Here they are going into the Acque Minerali
And Schumacher was too late on the brakes!
He runs a bit wide, but that was enough for Kubica to pass him
The back end of the field
Glock in 9th, a great race for him so far
They are all very close from 4th to 12th. Looks like someone went in the gravel in the background
Glock now in 8th
And here's a replay, Frentzen has run wide! This mistake drops him down in 10th place
Davidson too seems to have made a mistake, he dropped back to 21st
Montoya right behind Alonso, the Renault seems to be holding him up
Raikkonen and Kovalainen side by side in the Villeneuve chicane
Kovalainen runs wide!
That allows Raikkonen to pass him
With this we make our first commercial break. We'll be back soon!

Very happy with Jos' race, 2nd is a well deserved podium for him! Kubica was really unbeatable today, he was of superior class!
We are not so sure what happened with Felipe, he just couldn't get the tires to work properly. We can only hope next race will be better!
Superb coverage! Thank you
If you are racing, keep on racing and get some points!

Fantastic race from both our drivers. Robert showed an impressive performance today and rewarded himself with his first win in Formula1. Kimi also with an excellent race, fighting back in the points after only being 21st after the first lap.

Once again thank you Kedy, superb coverage as always
On a different note the Mugello test session will be run on Monday, however I'm yet to receive testing plans from the following teams:
Ferrari
Red Bull
Midland
Toro Rosso
BMW Sauber
Teams have until midday on Monday to submit their testing plans otherwise they will not take part (please send testing plans to the F1_Manager account). I believe I am right in saying that all teams have plenty of testing budget to attend but as I no longer handle the budgets, I'm afraid I don't know the specific amounts each team has. However, that being said Jake should be able to give the specific amounts if you're interested.
RD-wise, if there are any volunteers to run theSpanish GP European GP then I can set you up with the mod and a set of perfs, however I do appreciate that this is a busy time of year, myself included, for many people on the site. As I have previously said in order to get us back into the swing of things I am planning to get two or three races done in quick succession, but that won't be until after the 17th so if anyone thinks they can run a race between then and now that would be great.
If worse comes to worse I'll be running both theSpanish European and Monaco GPs and I might experiment with providing video coverage just to see if it's quicker than the traditional 'storyboard' coverage.
EDIT: My bad, completely forgot the European GP was a thing

Mugello Pre-Season Test Session
With the San Marino GP done and dusted the majority of teams took up the opportunity to make the relatively short trip over to the very popular Mugello circuit in Italy. The exceptions from this rule were only revealed to the media as testing got underway with both BMW Sauber and Toro Rosso electing not to attend the test, referring to limited testing budgets to justify their reasoning. On track however, there was relatively little change at the front with Kimi Raikkonen topping the test session for Mclaren. However, one of the biggest improvers appears to Toyota with Jarno Trulli ending the day just over half a tenth of the Finn's best time, encourging news for the team currently sitting in 7th in the WCC. Moving down the field, Heikki Kovalainen's pace will no doubt please supporters of Super Aguri whilst Adrian Sutil rounded off the 18 strong field in last place.
Raikkonen on route to the top of the timesheets
