2008 Turkish Grand Prix

Qualifying is done and the results are

1). Massa
2). Heikki Kovalainen
3). Hamilton
4). Kimi
5). Kubica
6). Mark Webber
7). Crybaby
8). Trulli
9). Heidfeld
10). Coulthard.

Kimi made mistakes on his final flying lap which is why he is down in 4th. He was on the pace during the other two sessions. Heikki has made a very good comeback after his spectacular crash during the Spanish GP. He wasnt even sure of racing this weekend, but he has managed to snag his first front row start.

Hamilton blamed his lack of pace on a wrong choice of tyre. He was on the hard compound tyre.

Red Bull should be very happy as they got both their cars into the Top 10.

As expected Force India are the slowest cars in 19th and 20th. Fisichella was actually 17th but he was handed a 3 place penalty for failing to heed a red light in the pit lane during practice.

Williams will be disappointed with only 11th for Rosberg and 16th for Nakajima.

Damn...exactly my words

Although you failed to mention that even if Massa seems/is lightest of top 4, he was spectacular, his final lap was flawless. I think 2 Mclarens might have ruined Kimi's race , but if he pulls something in the 1st corner, there might be some hope for Ferrrari 1-2.

On the other hand i think this race is Massa's to lose. One all the previous occasions at turkey, Pole sitters won the race , plus Massa is quite confident on this one. So i think he has to maintain his position and Kimi has to strive hard and make up 2 places...

And yeah i was very surprised on his choice for final flying lap as soon as he changed it, i thought they might be saving fresh sets for tomorrow - who knows. Still i doubt if he has the real pace...

I didn't see the session but f1 sites seem to think Kimi is higher on fuel as compared to Massa which explains his slow speed. Is that the case or he made a mistake in the session?

its an alternating thing. With the 2 race engine rule, usually revs are limited on the second race so you find massa and kimi on the pace every alternate race

Kimi has a terrible start. He is down in 4th. But he was actually in 6th at one time. Then luckily for him Heikki went into the pits and then he overtook Crybaby.

Crybaby is in 5th.

Massa in 1st, Hamilton in 2nd, Kubica in 3rd,
