2006 Spanish Grand Prix
Hello and welcome to the 2006 Spanish Grand Prix. Juan-Pablo Montoya took yet another pole for Mclaren yesterday but can he convert it into another win? Let's find out.
Lap 1/66
It's light out and away we go.
An electric start from Jenson Button in 3rd.
He moves into the lead!
Lap 2/66
Alonso passes Sato 3rd.
Schumacher moves into P6 with a pass on Raikkonen.
A look at the current order.
Heidfeld dives down the inside of Raikkonen.
Lap 3/66
Sato takes back 3rd from Alonso.
Lap 4/66
Down the field, Ralf Schumacher overtakes Glock.
Lap 5/66
Raikkonen loses yet another place, this time to Di Resta.
Lap 7/66
What's up with Raikkonen today? Massa's now passed him too.
Lotterer spins off and drops to the back.
Lap 11/66
Off goes Lotterer again.
Lap 15/66
Has Raikkonen woken up? He moves back into 9th with a pass on Massa.
Lap 17/66
Massa retakes 9th.
Lap 18/66
Ralf Schumacher dives down the inside of Barrichello for 12th.
Lap 22/66
Trulli spins off. A consequence of going long on those tyres?
Lap 25/66
The pitstops have been kind to Heidfeld and Michael Schumacher, they've both gained places.
Lap 29/66
A transmission failure ends Kobayashi's race.
Lap 33/66
The order at half-race distance. Sato and Massa made massive gains in the first pitstop period.
Lap 34/66
Barrichelllo passes Hamilton for 8th.
Lap 45/66
Yes we're still here...just about. Sato has come out of the pits ahead of Button! We think Button has to stop again too.
Lap 48/66
Finally some action! Heidfeld makes a mistake and goes off.
He rejoins the track infront of Ralf Schumacher and the two collide.
Both drivers will need to pit.
Lap 53/66
Hamilton spins off and drops down the order.
Lap 56/66
With 10 laps to go, here's the order. A lot of change during the pitstops and not a lot on track unfortunately.
Lap 62/66
A look at the position changes from the grid positions.
It looks like Trulli's engine has let go. That'll be the end of his race.
Lap 63/66
Disaster for Barrichello! A transmission failure robs him of some points today.
Lap 65/66
Glock runs wide and drops 2 places.
Lap 66/66
Takuma Sato wins the Spanish Grand Prix.
Juan-Pablo Montoya is 2nd.
With Felipe Massa 3rd.

Not the result we wanted, we are happy with the points, though.
Toro Rosso
Another bad day for Kamui.

Toyota
We got the strategy wrong but a great drive from Jenson to come home 4th. Another poor drive from Lewis, it looks like he's not ready for full-time racing just yet.

Renault
The last two races were awful, we could have scored a lot more of points

2006 Mid-Season Test #1
Only 7 teams took part in the first mid-season test of the season. The news before the session was a number of driver moves with Mark Webber replacing Robert Kubica at Mclaren, David Couthard replacing Scott Dixon at Toyota with Lewis Hamilton moving to a test driver role, and Nico Rosberg and Kamui Kobayashi switching teams in the Red Bull family.
The signing of Mark Webber by Mclaren looks to be a good one as the Aussie returned to F1 with the fastest time of the session ahead of Jenson Button of Toyota and his teammate Juan-Pablo Montoya.

Red Bull
Not the best day for us. The car seems not to be performing at a good level. We welcome Kamui aboard Red Bull Racing. Media and fan pressure warranted a switch at our team with Toro Rosso, we believe Nico will have a much better time at our sister team, he will remain there for the rest of the time being unless Kamui performs at a similar level to Nico’s.
Toro Rosso
We hope Kamui can be a great addition to Red Bull Racing. Nico showed his good results in 2005, however it seems he can’t really get to grips with our sister team’s car. We believe his experience will help us develop more and more this year. In terms of the session, it matched our expectations.

We expect a top 5 finish in qualifying.
Toro Rosso
Decent performance by Rosberg, but we don’t expect a top 15 finish.

Notice
I've ran into a few issues whilst running the Grand Prix, other than it being a snoozefest.
1st attempt saw a pitstop bug where two drivers got stuck in the pits during the race.
The 2nd attempt has the pitstops working but everyone pitting at the same time, causing massive traffic in the pitlane.
The two choices are we can either take the result of the 2nd attempt or I will source a new version of the track and post a 'no screenshot' race.

I've decided to source a different Monaco in the interest of fairness. As much as it pains me given that Button won the race
