Looks like Valencia want out of their contract. Not really much loss, the track is poor.

Valencia, driver's point of view, it's a great track, it's a very fluid track and with good rythm.

No. There were reports of Valencia wanting out of their contract however the Valencia organisers have denied all reports. The race is still in Valencia for the time being.

I don't understand why Der Schumacher, JB, and Truly yours get the higher numbers when they finished below their teammates in the standings.

Next year promises to be full of opportunities for Russian drivers – Mikhail Aleshin is expected to join Vitaliy Petrov in his attempts to show that Russians can drive fast.

Mikhail Aleshin, a star of Formula Renault 3.5 and a talented driver, said that he had signed a contract with a F1 constructor team, and if everything went right, two drivers would have represented our country at the world famous motor racing championship.

Two well-known drivers may attract large companies sponsors, which is an additional benefit for a national motor racing movement.

Don't know about Trulli but the other 2 are far better than their team maters in equal equipment.

You think Jenson is better than Lewis? I might regret asking this, but why?

Button made less mistakes and drove into less opponents than Hamilton. Button was only 26 points (or 11 in the old money) behind Hamilton so not exactly a trouncing.

Caveat: I supprot neither Button or Hamilton so am impartial in this view.
