De tre foregående år, er det tre forskellige kørere fra tre forskellige teams der har kørt sig til pole position i Valencia, det er Ferrari, McLaren samt Red Bull, og man kunne sagtens forestille sig at det igen skulle være mellem disse tre teams at pole position bilen igen skal findes.
Blandt kørerne er det nok kun to af de tre tidligere kørere der forventes at være med i kampen om pole position, det er Sebastian Vettel og Lewis Hamilton, mens Felipe Masse må betegnes som en stor 'outsider' til den placering igen i år.
