Williams are back.

Following Sunday’s dramatic fire in the Williams garage after the Spanish Grand Prix, the team have confirmed that a further two team members have now been released from hospital and have returned home after receiving treatment for smoke inhalation. One Williams staff member remains in hospital in Spain having suffered burns in the incident.

Mercedes’ Michael Schumacher has been punished by the Spanish stewards for his collision with the Williams of Bruno Senna during the Barcelona race on Sunday. Schumacher receives a five-place grid penalty for the next round in Monaco.

Williams’ celebrations of Pastor Maldonado’s Spanish Grand Prix victory have been cut dramatically short after a fire broke out in the team’s garage shortly after the race, engulfing the Barcelona pit lane in thick smoke. Mechanics from various teams took immediate action to extinguish the flames

Pastor Maldonado was the hero of Barcelona on Sunday afternoon. The Venezuelan’s speed in his Williams FW34 came out of left field on Saturday, and in the race he became the fifth different winner this season and the seventh in seven races when he steered it to the British team’s first victory since Brazil 2004. And Maldonado did it the hard way, fending off a hungry Fernando Alonso who burst through to the lead for Ferrari for the first 27 laps.

The Formula 1 Gran Premio de España Santander 2012 kicks off the first European leg of this year’s championship – and it could not be more open. None of the teams is going to Barcelona’s Circuit de Catalunya in the firm belief that they will dominate, because nobody knows for sure.

Ahead of Sunday’s Bahrain event, many had predicted an unexpected result. And as far as second and third positions were concerned, the pundits were proved right, with Lotus drivers Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean racing their way on to the podium. Sebastian Vettel’s victory from pole position, however, was less of a surprise even though the defending world champion had to fight hard to stay ahead

Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel leapt back into the limelight – and the lead of the world championship – with victory in Sunday’s 2012 Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix.

Nothing ever lasts forever. In the case of success, 2012 has proved that for Red Bull. But for now at least, it seems to be Mark Webber rather than world champion team mate Sebastian Vettel that is making the best of a bad situation.

Winning a race is one thing, dominating is another. And to win at your 111th attempt sounds like a near miracle
