Oliver WhiteAfter four weeks away, Formula One returns to action this weekend with the European Grand Prix, held around the docks of Valencia. Felipe Massa is not racing this weekend as he recovers at home in Brazil, and in his place sits Ferrari test driver Luca Badoer. The Italian last raced in 1999, and so far free practice hasn’t gone too well. Also changing their lineup are Renault, having ousted Nelson Piquet Jr in favour of Romain Grosjean.
