Test Session 1 (Test Drivers) - Silverstone

Lewis Hamilton topped the timesheet in the first test session ahead of the 2006 F1 season with a time of 1:21.231 at Silverstone. In contrast, it was a poor session for his teamate Yuji Ide, who could only finish 20th ahead of the two Super Aguri cars. David Coulthard impressed, getting his Toro Rosso into 6th whilst Alex Wurz finished with the 7th fastest time, quicker than his race driver teammate Adrian Sutil.

BMW Sauber
We're happy with Ralf Schumacher finishing 4th which is great for the team and Ralf. With De La Rosa also making top 10 finish, great start for BMW.

Super Aguri
Definitely, we're disappointed, at least we should've gone up high but some of our boys done a great job. Our car wasn't having a good pace overall. and we should look forward to make more improvement.

that was largely disappointing to lose to the Ferraris... but it is important to at least keep close.

Toyota
A little disappointed to not be placing higher but it's only the first test session.

Toro Rosso
We are extremely happy with where we are at. For David to get 6th place is beyond our wildest dreams right now. Robert getting above both Williams cars is also a great effort.

Honda's Test Session #1 Report
With Alex Wurz stepping in for Felipe Massa, he's done a great impression for us. Top 8 without any problems. 11th for Sutil is not bad for his first drive in a Formula One car. So, let's get on to the next test,

Test Session 2 (Race Drivers) - France

Lewis Hamilton was once again the fastest man on track, clocking a time of 1:15.234 at Magny Cours ahead of BMW's Nick Heidfeld.

Test Session #2 Report
Great impression from Felipe. 9th is not bad for him. However, we should give Sutil some more pace, but our relation with him is fine.

BMW Sauber
We're very happy to have our drivers in Top 3. What a strong result for us. This shows we can potentially fight for podium if possible. Hopefully there's more to come.

Super Aguri
Our pace is good but unfortunately we were the last team which we can't catch other cars and it's really terrible. We hope some better results come in.

Toyota
A fantastic session for us with Jenson in 4th and Mark in 6th. Fingers crossed we can take that form into Bahrain and pick up some valuable points.

Toro Rosso
Not the best session for us but we gained some valuable data to aid our improvements ahead of the season opener in Bahrain.

Somewhat disappointed with our pace so far, but too early to make any serious judgements as well.

Test Session 3 (Test Drivers) - Shanghai

The final test session before the 2006 season saw Ralf Schumacher top the timesheets in his BMW Ferrari ahead of Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton. Schumacher's teammate, Pedro De La Rosa, finished an impressive 4th. Williams also used the test session to announce a driver signing as they confirmed that Italian Giancarlo Fisichella would be racing in Bahrain with Jaime Alguersuari being demoted to a test driver role.

BMW Sauber
Another perfect test session for us, seeing Ralf topping the timesheets for BMW and De La Rosa finishing 4th which makes a strong result for BMW. We're looking forward to this season which it could get more exciting.

Super Aguri
Still slowest team at the moment, our drivers are having good work but as it stands there's not enough pace for us we would rather to see.

seems like it'll be a close season between Renault, Ferrari and BMW!
Still, we haven't topped a single official test session, which is a bit disappointing. But it's good that Alonso is consistently near the top.

Toyota

Jenson in 5th is excellent for us. It shows that we are well in with a shout when the season begins. It's a shame Jacques couldn't finish a bit higher up.

Toro Rosso

David was amazing again, top 10 is always a bonus. It brings us hope that we can score points during the season. Unfortunately Robert struggled to get his setup right and wasn't able to set a fast time. We're looking forward to seeing what Bahrain brings this weekend.

Honda
It's a fine 11th for Sutil though. Wurz's 12th is no problem, but he should impress us.

Since it is underway now, and I see multiple teams are available. Can I partake in this?
