Motorsport fans will be catching flights all over
Europe this summer to catch up with the Formula One World Championship.
The next race in the 2009 season will be held at the Nurburgring near
Cologne in
Germany on July 12th before the championship heads to
Budapest,
Hungary on July 26th.
Spain will be one of the most popular destinations for racing fans this summer when
Valencia hosts the Grand Prix of Europe on August 23rd.
Last year, this race was won by Ferrari driver Felipe Massa, who set a lap record on his way to victory.
The Ferrari team have not enjoyed anything close to the form they achieved in 2008 this year, however, currently lying fourth in the constructors' table behind Brawn-Mercedes, RBR-Renault and Toyota.
Following the race in Spain, the World Championship will head to Spa-Francorchamps in
Belgium (August 30th) and Monza in
Italy (September 11th) before the second Formula One night race in
Singapore on September 27th.
Jenson Button is currently leading the drivers' section of the Formula One championship, meaning there is plenty of British interest in the sport this year.
