The Valencia Street Circuit does not rotate with the Circuit de Catalunya

When Bernie Ecclestone said that in the future any country could have two big prizes (in clear reference to Spain, the only country with two appointments in the calendar) was "declared war" (silent) between the Valencia street circuit and the Circuit of Caralunya to keep your appointment within the Grand Circus. At the time he jumped to the fore the possibility of Valencia and Montmelo alternate Grands Prix at the Nurburgring and Hockenheim to the Grand Prize of Germany style.
But yesterday European Grand Prix Valmor organizers in the mouth of his Vice-President, Jorge Martinez Aspar, wanted to make it clear that arise not alternate with anyone in the dispute of its Grand Prize. The contract of the Valencia Street Circuit ends in 2014, but reports suggest that it will be extended until 2020.
The rumors about the Grand Prix of Europe do not complete there that Rita Barbera has announced that in the negotiations to extend the contract has been put on the table the possibility to bring forward the date of the same, becoming one of the first Grands Prix held in Europe. This maneuver is to appeal to the European public with the first formula one event in the old continent, most the last weekend in the urban layout of the capital city of the Turia.

Mercedes GP expected an extraordinary race in Valencia

It seems that the "almost podium" of Michael Schumacher in Canada has given wings to the optimism within the team Mercedes GP, they see the next race in Valencia as the next step climbing in the season. For that will be displayed in the Grand Prix of Europe's strongest, but not by chance if not in their own right. The track seems that it likes to both pilots and Finales highly motivated with a view to the next event.
It is not for less, fourth on Michael Schumacher at Canada represents the principle of support media generalized to "recovery" of the heptacampeon and his increasingly feasible first podium after his return. That of itself it will be news, and that will revitalize the fans more unconditional German. For me is always news that Nico Rosberg is about to explode as driver, but I understand that in other contexts it is more profitable to pull his partner, which ultimately sold more.
According to Ross Brawn is a very interesting and made track tailored to your computer:

The track of Valencia has a resemblance with Montreal, with its long straights and its slow corners. Sure that it is an interesting challenge was a fast and also urban track. The traction is paramount here, very important. Although we must work on the rhythm of our cars we had a great weekend in Canada and was a reward for us to fight for the podium

The truth is that Mercedes GP is already time promising good benefits and after Canada it is logical that they are happy and hopeful. Certainly the conditions of the track and the race, the dropouts forward and more factors such as the fate (that I don't mind her, but it exists) made that Schumacher was close. But this is F1 and things are as well, to rate there must be, to get on the podium or win, also.

Serbia: Valencia has not paid the fee for the year 2010

The organizers of the European Grand Prix last year did not pay fee passed to Bernie Ecclestone.

That is the affirmation of Salvador Serbia, the new director of organization of the careers of Spain of formula 1 at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona.

"Have said me that Valencia has not paid the share of last year," said local radio RAC1.

On the other hand insisted that Barcelona "always pays to the day after the Grand Prize", and so revealed for 2011 F1 Executive, you will receive the money on May 23.
