"Solid race for Michael and Jacques. Now our focus goes to Monza, an Italian track that will surely support Ferrari. We'll have to be careful there."

HAHA! That's awesome! Great job there...

Nice job by Montagny to get up to 10th. Hopefully, he can find some 1-lap pace in quali to help pick up a nice share of points.

Pretty bad result for us. Nico was very unlucky today, he lost a safe win. At least Sebastian could get 2 points... that's better than nothing

It seems clear that Raikkonen has lost some motivation after leaving our team for 2006. However, Lotterer once again with a stunning drive to 4th. Hopefully as we get closer to the end of the season we can move up the field in the Constructor's championship.

Wow both cars finished. Miracles do happen it seems

BAR
We are concerned about our car's pace. Takuma did a good job grabbing 1 point, could have been better though.

Ferrari and Sauber complete their lineups

As the F1 season is starting to near it's close, more and more teams are completing their driver lineups for next year and today, it was the turn of Ferrari to join that list with the signing of Giancarlo Fisichella from BAR. The little Italian said that 'words could not describe how happy (he) is to be joining Ferrari', after he signed just a single year contract with the team worth around £7.5m, which sees him join Felipe Massa and Jos Verstappen at Ferrari. It is currently unknown who will be partnering Felipe Massa for the 2006, however the bookies are tipping Jos Verstappen for the role of their number two driver, who has spent the past two seasons with the team.

On a very similar note Sauber, soon to become BMW Sauber, also announced that they had completed their 2006 lineup after offering their newly promoted race driver Robert Doornbos a two year deal to stay at the team. The deal itself is said to be worth £3.5m, which will see the Dutchman be part of BMW Sauber until the end of 2007.

Drivers open for contract offers until the end of round 15


Drivers open for contract offers until the end of round 16


NOTE: All the remaining drivers I have contracts for have now been made open for contract negotiations. So, unless a miracle occurs and Reve returns or we find a complete list of GP2 contract details, what you see above is all the remaining drivers still available for 2006 onwards. No more will be added to this list.

No worries John, will you still be okay to run the Interlagos and Shanghai weekends?

Verstappen dominates rainy Free Practice

In a very rainy practice Jos Verstappen was the fastest man today. Early in the session he set a time of 1:34.337 which noone could beat in the remaining time, probably also because the conditions got worse every minute. Second was current championship leader Michael Schumacher, but with a gap of over 0.3s. Glock and Raikkonen both had a good setup today, they managed to get in the top 6. A disappointing session however for Renault and BAR, Gene and Barrichello could only get p15 and p16, and the BAR drivers were on the last two places.

Impressive showing from Kimi in P4, making Bruni rather ordinary. Good session nonetheless.
