Formula One - 2008 - Round 5 Turkish Grand Prix May 9-11

What a track, low downforce, high speed corners...can't wait.

RIP Super Aguri....I just hope Davidson picks up another drive or test job...Sato, don't let the door hit you on the way out

Anybody fancy betting against Kimi for the win?

lol


sato beat davidson in every way shape and form. you brits are funny...

Hmmm... I'd bet on Massa actually. but as for teams, yeah, ferrari will more than likely be 1-2... probably doesn't matter too much in which order.

I am, of course, pulling for Kimi.

Obviously nobody can beat Sato's impressive record when it comes to chassis destruction..he was always a natural

McLaren are a lot closer to Ferrari than expected...could be an interesting Qualifying session.

doesn't mean anything. even qualifying doesn't mean anything if ferrari are .100 faster... they could have 5 laps more fuel in them.

only the race will tell.

I suspect you are correct, Kimi topped the session and he still is complaining that the car isn't to his liking:

In the Spanish GP, even though Hamilton kept the Ferraris in sight it was clear that they were not showing their full pace.

I guess we'll find out at 4.00am what the truth is

Definitely one of the most exciting ones. It has a little of everything, and man did McLaren's fuel strategy make it all that more exciting.

Just got back from a camping trip so missed it all.
Good to see Ferrari up there even though Kimi was 3rd. Great job by the Mclaren team !
