German F1 Fans Most Accurate at Predicting Results

The figures come from GrandPrixGame.com, whose players can win more than £15,000 ($21,000) for predicting the correct order of the first six finishers of this weekend's European Grand Prix.

Over the last four races, Bahrain, San Marino, Barcelona and Monaco, players from the home of current world champion Michael Schumacher have outperformed their counterparts from 15 countries, including the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Columbia, Japan and Australia. An impressive fifth (20%) of cars named in Germans' bets have finished where predicted - much higher than players' predictions from other countries.

The second most accurate players come from Spain, whose appetite for F1 has been whetted by the stunning Alonso, where 13% of the cars placed on GrandPrix.com finished where predicted. The next most knowledgeable were the players from Canada and Sweden - both with 7%. While players from the United Kingdom and Australia, the homelands of Red Bull Racing's David Coulthard and BMW Williams' Mark Webber respectively, managed an accuracy of 5%.

GrandPrixGame.com Managing Director Jon El-Kadhi said: "Players from Germany are by far the most knowledgeable. If I were a betting man I'd say that there's a very good chance of us having a German winner this weekend."
