F1 2006 Testing times

RacingForIndia · 16th February 2006, 16:22

I think it’s a little hard to say, but from the looks of it i think Renault, Honda, Toyota & Williams look very strong.
Ferrari have some issues with their engine, but should be up there as the season progresses. McLaren (engines)

and Redbull (cooling)

have some major issues to be sorted out before the first race.
The first race is just around the corner, wonder who would come out strongest.

Any guesses?

This time too its going to be the ultra reliable Renault and also expecting the Ferrari ro return to the top. Toyota also looks quite strong.

Qualifying format this time makes sense I feel with 3 sessions and 6 cars out of each session filling in the grid from the last. The last session will run only 10 cars with race fuel, its gonna be fun...

Hey do Bangalore BHPians have a plan to get together to watch the race at someplace, if not, shouldnt we be doing that ?????

Honda has clocked up the most miles in testing followed closely by McLaren and Renault.
McLaren showed some speed during the latter part of last week, but had some reliability issues.

Renault has a very reliable car this season followed by BMW Sauber. But McLaren Mercedes kick ***.
