Formula One season continues tour of Europe

Formula One season continues tour of Europe

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.
