BMW Sauber celebrated a strong performance and six points at the European Grand Prix. Kamui Kobayashi drove almost the entire race on one set of tyres and put in some storming passes to take seventh, while team mate Pedro de la Rosa only missed out on a point thanks to a post-race time penalty
From ninth on the Valencia grid to a fourth-place finish, Williams’ Rubens Barrichello – and his FW32 – enjoyed a very strong European Grand Prix. And although Nico Hulkenberg’s race ended prematurely, he had also been running in the top ten in the second Williams. Overall it was a successful outing for the British team, and Sam Michael, Williams’ technical director, is confident they will be equally competitive at the forthcoming Silverstone race
On the face of it, Robert Kubica’s fifth place in Sunday’s European Grand Prix looked like a good result for Renault. However, had it not been for a bit of bad luck with the timing of the safety car the team are convinced it could have been a whole lot better, as chief race engineer Alan Permane explained in his post-race debrief

Hamilton, who retained his lead in the driver standings, felt his penalty was fair and is now looking forward to an upgraded MP4-25 for his home race in two weeks’ time
Jenson Button, Rubens Barrichello, Nico Hulkenberg, Robert Kubica, Vitaly Petrov, Adrian Sutil, Vitantonio Liuzzi, Sebastien Buemi and Pedro de la Rosa have all received penalties from the Valencia stewards for safety-car rule infringements…
Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel bounced himself back into contention for the world championship with an easy European Grand Prix win in Valencia on a day when a spectacular back flip left Mark Webber on the sidelines in the other Red Bull. Vettel led from the start, defending strongly against a forceful Lewis Hamilton in the McLaren and Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso in the first corner, as Webber was hung out to dry in the heavy traffic and dropped to ninth from second on the grid.
On Saturday in Valencia Sebastian Vettel took his fourth pole position of the season, and Red Bull’s eighth.
