Manish Patel and Sky News Sports Line Producer Mark O’Leary look back at an eventful European Grand Prix at Valencia.

Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel claimed a vital win to re-ignite his challenge for the Drivers Championship. It was a mixed day for the team as Mark Webber survived a high speed crash after going into the back of Heikki Kovalainen.

McLaren had another decent weekend with Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button coming home in second and third despite Button recieving a 5 second penalty. Hamilton leads the Drivers Championship by six points heading to the British Grand Prix.

Ferrari had another dismal weekend with Fernando Alonso only finishing eighth and Felipe Massa finishing outside the points. What has gone wrong since Bahrain?

It was a much better weekend for Williams as Rubens Barrichello ended the race in a superb 4th place. Both Barrichello and Niko Hulkenburg made it into Q3 in qualifying.
