Rubens Barrichello wins his first race in 5 years at Valencia!
In today’s European Grand Prix race at Valencia,Spain, the spectators who mostly bought the ticket to watch Michael Schumacher’s comeback, witnessed a rather surprising victory by his old teammate, Rubens Barrichello! The Brazilian won the race thanks to the superior performance of his Brawn car and the fact that Mclaren crew were rubbish at all the pit stops! Hamilton who started from Pole Position finished second, while Kimi Raikkonen, showing his great skills, came third. Loca Badoer, who replaced Massa and then Schumi, was utterly useless, and ended up 17th after a spin and a drive-through!
