Formula One Betting Online: Formula One visits Valencia, Spain on Sunday, June 24 in an epic street race spanning 57 laps with a circuit length of 3.367 miles for a race length of just over 190 miles in the Grand Prix of Europe. The European Grand Prix as it is also known, was established in 1983 and has been held 20 times.

In those 20 runs, the great Michael Schumacher has, of course, dominated the competition. The legendary German racer has won 6 of the 20 races, and is the only driver to win the event in back to back years, having done it twice.  The first repeat came in 94 and 95, while the second came in 2000 and 2001.

Fellow German Sebastian Vettel will try to pull off the repeat this year, after taking both the pole and the top spot on the podium. Vettel became the youngest racer ever to win the Formula One championship last season at the tender age of 22.

With that kind of momentum, it will take an immense skill to pass up the promising youngster this year in Spain.

In the three year history of the Grand Prix in Valencia, there have been no Spanish winners.  Fernando Alonso won the event in 2007, the last year it was held in Germany before switching to Spain.  Since then two Brazilians and the German Vettel have brought home the victory.

Make sure to get up a little early and check out the June 24, European Grand Prix, scheduled to start at 8:00 p.m. ET.  This intense street race will give you an excellent opportunity to use Bookmaker.eu to bet on Formula One Racing.
