With another dominant performance by team Ferrari, Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen finished one-two in what proved to be a very subdued race. As in most F1 contest the only passing came at the start and in the pit lane after each team showed their hand on fuel strategy. The only glaring event of the race was when championship points leader Lewis Hamilton had a right front tire blow and he had to limp back to the pits. Luckily he only lost two positions as he had his problem close to the pit entrance and not further down the track. He was able to salvage fifth place.
Ferrari's getting the better start they went into turn one nose to tail and The Ferrari's showed again that they were the cars to beat as Massa had the pole and Raikkonen started from the third position, but on the clean side of the grid. With both of thebasically stayed that way the balance of the race. Defending world champ Fernando Alonso started from grid spot number four but lost two places at the start to the BMW's. But with better pit strategy and his teammates bad luck, finished on the podium with a strong third place.
Maybe there will be a little more on the track action at the next event in Monza, but that is not likely to happen, as the cars tend to get spread apart very quickly on the high speed circuit. As in all the F1 events qualifying will get the most attention as the front runners will once again be vying for the ever important pole position. But congratulations to Felipe Massa and to Ferrari on a most impressive Grand Prix of Turkey as we head off to Monza were the Ferrari fans will be in abundance and as crazy as ever.
