    • Track: Istabul Park, Istanbul, Turkey
      Lap count: 58
      Race start: 1500 hrs local time (2000 hrs SIN)

      Istanbul was introduced to the calendar in 2005. F1 fans do not normally take to new
      circuits well but this has been a hit with them, as it has a fast and generally flowing
      nature and it features severe elevation changes throughout.

      This is the first of three races run anti-clockwise in the 2008 season, as the event has
      been moved from its previous late August spot. Medium levels of downforce will be
      used, and overtaking opportunities abound at the first corner and the hairpin at the end
      of the back straight. Another corner to look out for is the 4-apex Turn 8, which is one of
      the most breathtaking on the calendar.

      There have been only 2 winners at this event (Massa and Raikkonen), and both of
      them are now driving for Ferrari. The scarlet cars are widely expected to dominate
      once again. At the other end of the grid, Super Aguri has withdrawn from the circus,
      leaving just 20 cars on the starting grid for the first time since 2005.

    • The Ferraris are looking unstoppable. They're the only cars that are able to complete Sector 2 of the lap in under 31 seconds (aside from Kovalainen, but even then he's doing 30.9s to their 30.6s)

    • still ferrari is too strong. i dn't think hamilton will be able to take on one or the other of the 2 prancing horse drivers at the same time.

      and bmw is the most improved team this year, imo.
