F1 Manager - 2005 Season - End of the Season!
Posted by Twigster151
Schumacher Fastest at Latest Test
As F1 returned to Silverstone once more in 2005, this time for the penultimate of the mid-season test sessions, it was Michael Schumacher who was the quickest of the attending teams with the two Ferrari drivers, Felipe Massa and Jos ‘The Boss’ Verstappen, completing the top three. Further down the field BAR had a strong showing with Sato and Leinders ending the session in 5th and 7th, with recently demoted Minardi driver Christian Klien splitting the pair in 6th. The McLaren’s chose not to go for the headline catching times and ended up in 12th and 13th, whilst Marc Gene took home the wooden spoon.
Also in other news, following their recent manager switch, Jordan announced the signings of both Heinz Harald Frentzen and Satoshi Motoyama, who coincidentally was dropped by the team at the end of last signing. Both drivers signed one year deals with Frentzen’s being worth £5.5m and Motoyama’s £3m. Ferrari were another team to announce double signing after they retained the services of both Jos Verstappen on a £9m one year deal and, Felipe Massa who he becomes the first driver to sign a three year deal, rumoured to be worth a whopping £33m, to stay at Ferrari until at least the end of 2008. In addition to this David Coulthard, who is currently enjoying a mildly average season at Renault, announced that he would be partnering Juan Pablo Montoya at the new BMW Sauber team after signing a two year deal worth around £14m.

Ferrari
We are happy to have renewed contracts for both Felipe as Jos. We are sure they have a lot more in them for us to see! With this announcement we are almost ready for 2006, we are currently negotiating another driver to join our team. How our line-up will show will be revealed as soon as the Ferrari team is completed.
The test session went really good for us, too bad we couldn't show that in taking P1 as Williams went away with that spot. We need to be on our toes to get the lead in the WCC back from the latter named. Williams are our main rivals for the rest of 2005.
Looking forward to the next race!
If you are racing, keep on racing and get some points!

2005 Turkish Grand Prix Practice Session-Round 14
Both Ferraris were ahead at the top of the timesheets for the first ever turkish grand prix,Many drivers took there time in getting dialled in to the new track with Felipe Massa setting the fastest time near the end of the session,edging out teammate Jos Verstappen..Anthony davidson was an excellent 3rd for Minardi ahead of both Mclarens in 4th and 5th respectively..Although it was a difficult session for the Jordans,Toyotas and Arrows teams with them down the back of the field.With not much between the top 10 we should be in for an intresting qualifying session tomorrow...
Massa going quickest
