*** The 2008 European Grand Prix will take place in Valencia.

Maybe with the European Grand Prix honour taken by the brand new Valencian circuit, Kimi can have a better year, eh? I’m glad Australia keeps the season opener place, it has the perfect atmosphere for starting a F1 season. The recent rumour of Bahrain hosting the first race (as they did in 2006) was just a rumour then, and I’m pleased because as much as I like the Bahrain circuit, it still has a long way to go in building up the true F1 excitement and thrill around the track.

And next year, you might see the famous ‘Keep Flying Kimi’ flag waving in a different circuit!
