Welcome back to Imola, Italy and the San Marino Grand Prix, the fourth round of the 2006 FIA Formula One World Championship and the first of the year to be held in Europe.

As expected, the sun is already shining on Sunday morning and with an ambient temperature high of 27 degrees Celsius now predicted, conditions will be perfect for the race.

The 4.933 kilometre (3.065 mile) Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari is largely unchanged from 2005, with the only minor alteration a slight tightening of the Variante Alta chicane. Last year Kimi Raikkonen took pole position with a lap of 1m 19.886 for McLaren and Fernando Alonso so narrowly beat Michael Schumacher in the race.

The race will run over 62 laps (305.609 km/189.897 miles) and will start at 1400 hours local time (1300 GMT).
