Fri = Friday Driver — Res = Reserve Driver
1 Raced up to the San Marino Grand Prix, then relocated to a test role, exclusively. Finally, shortly before the Spanish GP, as his superlicence was withdrawn by the FIA, it was reported that Ide would no longer be lining up for the Super Aguri team, this Season.
2 Promoted to Yuji Ide's race seat at the Nürbürgring, filling in for a Japanese driver, up to the French GP.
3 Super Aguri's new test & reserve driver, since the Silverstone racing weekend. Promoted to Franck Montagny's race seat at Hockenheim, as Yuji Ide's Japanese replacement at the Super Aguri team, after Franck Montagny had filled in the seat for seven GP's.
4 Promoted to 
Juan Pablo Montoya's suddenly vacant race seat, at Magny-Cours, Team test driver Pedro de la Rosa has been initially announced as Montoya's replacement at McLaren, for the foreseeable future. These words leave open the possibility that the McLaren Team might hand the vacant seat also to another driver, before the Season is over, presumably Gary Paffet, their other test driver, currently promoted to the Team's exclusive reserve driver.
5 Robert Kubica replaces reportedly physically unfit 
Jacques Villeneuve in the Hungaroring.
Note: Adrian Sutil, the sixth German driver to be involved with F1 in 2006, has joined MF1 Racing as their junior driver; whereas Giorgio Modini, the second Swiss to join F1 this Season, will be their reserve driver for nine of the nineteen Grand Prix, in 2006, it has been announced.
