Lots of F1 news this week, with the FIA issuing the official 2006 entrants list, winter testing in Spain, and new car announcements.

The biggest news so far is that new team Super Aguri F1 is not on the FIA’s list of accepted entrants. Rumor has it that the team’s $48 million performance bond did not show up by the deadline. (It is possible for the team to be granted a late entry if it meets the FIA’s requirements, but it will require agreement by all the other teams.)

On the driver front, Tiago Monteiro is confirmed as a driver for MF1 Racing (Midland), and Jacques Villeneuve will be back with BMW Sauber, alongside Nick Heidfeld. Anthony Davidson will return as Honda’s test driver.

BAR-Honda’s new name will be Honda Racing F1 Team. Its new livery showed on the ‘06 Concept car running in Barcelona this week, a combination of Honda Racing White and predominantly red graphics representing its Lucky Strike title sponsor.

In early testing at Barcelona, the fastest time for a 2006-spec V8-powered car was set today by the Toyota of Ricardo Zonta, 2.5 seconds slower than Jenson Button’s best time running last year’s V10.

i want F1 to go back to what it was 5 years ago, hardly any driver aids, V10s in excess of 850bhp pit stops with tire changes, formula jus aint what it was and to be honest im startin to get bored of it

A few months ago the FIA had a survey on their site, and it became clear that most of the F1 fans want that what you say Sidhu. I dont think the V10 will come back, because that would cost WAY too much. But there are chances that the driver aids will go away.
The tire changes are already coming back this year.

^^yeah i saw that and the favourite track was Silverstone..
and one point they were going to leave Silverstone i don't know what happened about it though. a little bit on controversy...
the slogan was 'let you voice be heard' 8-)

Seriously I LOVED F1.But because Micheal has been winning most of the time(with this year as an exception) things are predictable but never boring.This season is my 2nd fav season.As Alonso's victories after victories and the downfall of Schumacher realy surprises me!!I believe it's because of the tyres.Fav being those year when Micheal and Mika will be head to head figting for the world champion!!BTW....I think I could never forget the Japanese Grand Prix this season.Kimi was just excellent in that race.It's a pity he lost.Yes....it's luck.

Iv'e heard that driver aids are going to be banned from Silvertone

they wouldn't just do that for one track i don't think
