What an excellent race... :thumbup: :thumbup:

The battle for 2nd was awesome, Schuey vs Alonso, championship on the line, and Fred got 'er dun. :) Battles throughout the mid-field all race.

Tilke - can't say enough about the track he designed in Turkey, it's absolutely stunning. Elevation changes, complex corners, lots of passing two years in a row. :thumbup: Just a great circuit.

Definitely worth waking up for. It's the best dry race I've seen in quite awhile. Always cool to see a first time winner and showing some true emotion too.

For a guy that has created so many soulless boring tracks, he sure got that one right.

Fantastic race! What a track, my goodness!

Somehow I managed to miss the race last year so this was my first viewing of it, turn 8 looks breathtaking but my favourite has to be the camera angle that showed in the foreground the cars cresting a rise whilst in the background you could see cars tearing up the hill in the other direction...

Great stuff all round!!!

Agreed, Tilke got one right. Good race today. Well contested from 2nd back. Nice for Massa to finally get a taste.

Tilke got lucky with all the elevation changes he could play around with :gomer:

Great track, great race.!

Some good racing in the middle of the pack.

:thumbup: Alonso. Didn't put a wheel wrong all day and took advantage of the SC pit situation.
:thumdown: Shumacher. Threw away P2 going off in Turn 8. Down by 12 with 4 to go instead of 8. Brain fade may've cost him the championship.
