Most teams will be testing at Barcelona from the 21st to the 25th of February.

That test will be the final test for most teams before shipping the cars to Bahrain.

Super Aguri have just announced their driver line-up for 2006.

It will be an all Japanese lineup with Takuma Sato and Yuji Ide

Takuma Sato said:

Everyone at SUPER AGURI has done a great job to make the team happen in such a short period of time. I am extremely excited to be working with the team and especially with Aguri-san who has achieved huge success in motorsport.
Yesterday I was delighted to shakedown the car for the very first time with all of the boys who have done such a great job. We know that there is a lot of hard work to do, but we are up for the challenge and I am really looking forward to it.

Yuji Ide said:

This year will be very exciting and challenging. I would like to thank Suzuki-san for giving me the opportunity to drive in Formula One. I drove an F1 car for the first time yesterday and I was nervous, but very excited. The car is powerful! I would also like to thank the whole team for working so hard to get the car ready for yesterday?s shakedown. We had no problems and now I am very much looking forward to testing in Barcelona next week.

Team Principal Aguri Suzuki said:

I am grateful that these highly experienced drivers are joining my team. Although I expect a tough year as it is our first in Formula One, with these two drivers I will put all my efforts into creating a positive outcome.
