After the excitement of Hungary, I thought Turkey would disappoint, but I was wrong. It was in danger of becoming boring about midway through, but the second round of pit stops brought Fernando and Michael together for a fantastic fight to the finish. You know it’s been a good race when the two championship contenders cross the finish line side by side.
Alonso was lucky to get in front of Schumacher when everyone pitted during the safety car, but that was lucky for us too; The race would’ve been a lot less interesting if both Ferraris had stayed up front. The big question is what would’ve happened if Michael had got past Alonso? Would Massa have slammed on the brakes? Would we have seen a farcical finish like we did with Rubens a few years ago? We’ll never know.
