FORMULA 1 Gran Premio de Espana 2006

The Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona is very well-known to the F1 teams as a great deal of the winter test programme is carry out there. It's an ideal test track due to the fact that if the car is fast in Barcelona, it will also be fast in all the other tracks. The track has a good mixture of fast and slow corners and undulating bumps so it is tough on the drivers. Understeere is often a problem here due to the long, sweeping bends which also promote high tyre wear.

Prior to the Spanish Grand Prix a test is held at the circuit de Catalunya. This pre-race test are almost like mini-Grand Prix as it is quite usual for all the teams to take part as it gives them a chance to get a lot of the weekend's set-up work done before the race. This means they can concentrate on finding more speed once the race weekend begins. This isn't alwas the case though as, if the rest is run in hot and sunny weather and the Grand Prix turns out to be wet, most of that set-up work will go down the drain! This isn't a big problem though as all the other teams will be in the same boat.
