Rubens Barrichello reversed Brawn GP’s sliding fortunes at Valencia by taking his first Formula One win since 2004 – with a little help from a botched McLaren pitstop that cost Lewis Hamilton the lead, and perhaps the victory.
Nico Hulkenberg is a step closer to the GP2 2009 drivers’ title – and an almost-certain move to Williams F1 – after extending his lead over his nearest rival to 20 points.
The first F1 race for a month and suddenly the form book has been rewritten – McLaren have seemingly overcome the development problems that wrecked the early part of their season and shut out the front row.
McLaren signalled their recent return to form was no fluke by dominating qualifying on the Valencia street circuit to lock out the front row for the European Grand Prix.
Brawn are quietly confident about their weekend after two solid practice sessions that saw a subdued performance from title rivals Red Bull as well as fireworks from potential polesitters Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton.
Jenson Button has confirmed that he is a free agent for next season right now, as Brawn does not have him signed up beyond the end of this season.
Following the racing this weekend? Here’s all you need to know.
Right, as you were, ladies and gentlemen. After our month’s enforced break from Formula One the carnival is on the road again and readying itself to roll into Valencia, one of the most unloved venues on the entire calendar.
So, how do you fancy Spain in August? Long, hot summer afternoons, the sun glinting off the Mediterranean, the scream of F1 cars around Valencia Harbour… sounds good? Thought so. Well, we’ve teamed up with Renault F1 (honest, we have) to give you the chance of going to the European Grand Prix as their guest.
Clearly the best solution would be not to have to go down this road in the first place. But we think the prospect of no British race in 2010 is, unfortunately, very real. So, what might we be able to look forward to instead?
