Postati pe acest subiect daca vreti, ultimele rezultate ale testelor echipelor de F1, poate ne putem face o parerea mai buna despre ce ne asteapta in 2006.
BMW Sauber and McLaren Mercedes on track
Barcelona - Monday - Testing
Testing resumed today at Circuit de Catalunya, home of the Spanish Grand Prix, with BMW Sauber and McLaren Mercedes on track.
Jacques Villeneuve led the way for BMW Sauber as the Canadian racked up 84-laps with a best time of 1:17.242s in the new F1.06 chassis while team-mate Nick Heidfeld was also in action for the team, completing 82-laps in the C24B chassis. Villeneuve worked on general setup while Heidfeld evaluated different aerodynamic configurations before moving on to the Michelin programme.
Over at McLaren Mercedes it was a big day as the team ran the new MP4-21 for the first time. Pedro de la Rosa was given the honour of shaking down the new chassis and the Spanish test driver completed 19 laps and set the third fastest time just two-tenths off fellow-tester Gary Paffett in the V10-powered MP4-20B.
Ferrari, Honda and Red Bull join the action in Barcelona on Tuesday with Renault, Toro Rosso and Toyota hitting the testing trail on Wednesday.

An early debut for the MP4-21
Oil pressure problems halt the new car
McLaren Mercedes conducted the first shakedown of its 2006 car, the MP4-21, at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona today. Pedro de la Rosa drove the new car, completing 19 laps of the Spanish circuit and covering 90KM in total. The MP4-21 was not meant to make its track debut until Tuesday but the team decided to undertake a short shakedown today.
Work for de la Rosa and the test team focused on initial systems checks with MP4-21, which started the day's session at 09:15 local time. De la Rosa completed four single laps during the early part of the day, with the team running checks between each outing. Shortly after midday, Pedro completed one longer run of seven laps, which was followed by another of six.
During the latter run, the Spaniard stopped on track as his MP4-21 had sustained a problem with the oil pressure. The team decided to undertake a full check-up following its initial shakedown and as a result the MP4-21 stayed in the garage for most of the afternoon. However early evening de la Rosa was able to take the MP4-21 for another run.
The planned programme with MP4-21 will continue for the duration of this week’s test in Barcelona, with Juan Pablo Montoya at the wheel tomorrow and Wednesday, with Kimi Raikkonen taking over for Thursday and Friday.
Gary Paffett was also in attendance at Barcelona today, running alongside Pedro in the interim MP4-20. Paffett, who set the second fastest time, completed 76 laps and a total of 360KM with work continuing to focus on Michelin tyre development.
prematur sa tragem concluzii.... totusi echipele mai au o luna doar. astept cu interes maine debutul monopostului Ferrari. sper sa fie unul mai urat dar performant, decat unul frumos ca anul trecut sau 1996 dar cu rezultate mai slabe. daca putem spune asa.
