Limited Friday running at Sakhir
Spectators at a warm Sakhir circuit witnessed a scant day of Formula One practice as the 2006 championship kicked off in Bahrain.
BMW Sauber`s Friday runner Robert Kubica topped the initial timesheet, and Anthony Davidson (Honda) the second practice hour, but much of the field opted to save tyres and engines.


In the morning, both Renaults, both Toyotas, both Williams, both Hondas and both BMW-Sauber racers did not even set a time, as the new V8 formula is debuted and runners brace for a more hectic `knockout` qualifying system.
