Raikkonen on top at rain drenched Silverstone
Jordan's Kimi Raikkonen posted the fastest time at the latest preseason test in adverse weather conditions. Although he wasn't first out of the pits Raikkonen pulled out a miracle lap to find 3 seconds on the rest of field early on in the session which no one, including himself, could get to within 4 seconds of during the rest of the test. Conditions then began to deteriorate very quickly with drivers crawling round 12 seconds of the pace as the checkered flag fell. The top three teams, Ferrari, Williams and Mclaren were the only ones not to test at Silverstone and will instead appear at Imola in the coming days. As a result of the conditions those focusing on pace had a terrible session although those focusing on reliabilty received incredible feedback.

Schumacher on top as F1 heads down under
Michael Schumacher finished the final preseason test session on top of the timing sheets at the Imola circuit. The German beat the times of his team mate Verstappen and the Williams and McLaren drivers with a time of 1:22.402.

Happy with the testing at Imola. Nando was quick which was encouraging. Jenson struggled slightly but he is still getting used to the car.
We were alright in Silverstone, but the rain really didnt help...
Can't remember which i allocated each test focus on
But 8th and 12th is alright

Arrows Make Surprise Return to Formula 1
It was confirmed earlier today that the Arrows squad will be returning to the Formula 1 grid from the Malaysian grand prix onwards. The news comes after the team failed to find the financial backing in order to enter the 2004 F1 season but now under new management in the form of DStonesF1, the FIA granted the team permission to rejoin the grid in Sepang. At the team relaunch, Arrows were able to confirm that the Arrows A25 will be powered by Petronas engines and will feature former Renault drivers Jarno Trulli and Justin Wilson at the wheel in race trim, whilst Ricardo Zonta will be the teams official test driver.

Just a quick update on quali. I did manage to get it run today but unfortunately the game decided to crash when I exited the session. Hopefully a re-run will be done tomorrow or Friday if worst comes to worst

Also just a word of warning, now that the new season is underway I will be performing activity checks on all the managers, starting midday this Sunday, every two weeks. Managers who have not posted in the thread in that time will be given a warning, two warnings and you will either be replaced by the first reserve manager, or if there are not any reserves you will receive a perf deduction. Warnings will be reset at the end of each season. As for the race I should be able to run it tomorrow and have it up by Sunday as long as I don't run into any problems
