Massa quickest as Raikkonen falters

Weather forecasts predict perfect conditions for the Formula 1 drivers in Istanbul. This weekend's temperatures won't get much higher than 20 degrees Celsius on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday there is a small risk of light rain showers but the rest of the weekend should remain dry.

Fresh from three points and a sixth place finish in the Spanish Grand Prix, Jenson Button is aiming for more points this weekend, but acknowledged that if Ferrari, McLaren and BMW stay reliable, it will be difficult to do much better than seventh.

Lewis Hamilton says he is missing the feeling of being a Grand Prix winner after rivals Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen have sealed the last three F1 victories in Malaysia, Bahrain and Spain. The Italian squad is again the favourite ahead of the Turkish Grand Prix.
