      Lance Stroll claims shock Istanbul GP pole position as Hamilton and Verstappen falter dramatically in soaking qualifying

      by

      LANCE STROLL produced a stunning lap to grab a maiden Formula One pole in Turkish Grand Prix qualifying.
      Max Verstappen appeared a shoe-in for much of Saturday’s soaking wet session, which had to be stopped twice.

      But Racing Point pulled a rabbit out of the hat in Q3 to put Stroll on pole and Sergio Perez third.
      The team’s decision to go early on the Intermediates allowed both drivers to warm their tyres up quicker than their rivals.
      World Championship leader Hamilton was another left in Stroll’s wake, qualifying sixth with Valtteri Bottas ninth.
      That would be enough for the Brit to win his seventh title tomorrow, which he can claim by beating his Mercedes team-mate.

      A rainy evening in Istanbul played havoc with each team’s preparation for qualifying.
      Although drivers were given a helping paw on Saturday morning when a dog rushed onto the track to show them the racing line.

      Fortunately, the manic mutt was moved on and cars were allowed to return to track.
      Two red flags interrupted Q1 amid constant complaints of drivers being unable to see through thick spray.

      The weather combined with a newly-relaid surface to make for hugely tricky, and unpredictable, conditions.
      Romain Grosjean and Nicholas Latifi both spun out in Q1, the latter drawing yellow flags late in the session that hangs a big question mark over the grid.

      Race stewards sent out trucks to clear away the water amid the Q1 downpour

      A number of drivers improved their times despite the flags, all of which face an investigation by stewards.
      The decision to delay any punishment was highly criticised by the likes of Kevin Magnussen, who exited qualifying having said he did slow down.
      There was also concern that Q2 was allowed to begin while the safety truck remained on the gravel, rescuing Latifi.
      That session saw both Ferrari and McLaren cars fall out of qualifying, and they will start in the middle of the pack for tomorrow’s race at 10.10am UK time.

      Where does Lewis Hamilton need to finish to win F1 World Championship in Turkey?

      by

      LEWIS HAMILTON is on the brink of winning a joint-record seventh F1 World Championship this weekend.
      The 35-year-old can tie legendary racer Michael Schumacher’s tally with a win at the Turkish Grand Prix on Sunday.

      Only Valtteri Bottas can catch Hamilton in this year’s championship race.

      But on Sunday, there are multiple ways in which Hamilton can secure himself a sweet victory over his Mercedes team-mate.
      Hamilton already leads Bottas by 85 points so if he outscores his Finnish rival this weekend, the race to title supremacy is finished.
      Even if Bottas manages to outscore his Brit rival, then there are still multiple ways in which Hamilton can get the job done.

      If Bottas wins the Turkish Grand Prix and gets the fastest lap, the title race will continue on to the Bahrain GP.
      But Hamilton will win it all on Sunday if he comes second and Bottas fails to nab the fastest lap.
      Should Bottas finish second and obtain the fastest lap, Hamilton only needs to finish fourth.
      Hamilton can also finish fifth if Bottas ends up in third place with the fastest lap.

      If Bottas ends the day in fourth place, Hamilton can finish in seventh or eighth WITH the fastest lap.
      Hamilton can also afford to slip to eighth, so long as Bottas ends his day in fifth position.
      Bottas finishing sixth with the fastest lap would allow Hamilton to finish ninth.
      And a lowly sixth place finish for Bottas would see Hamilton secure his seventh title as long as he finishes in 10th place or higher.

      That same pattern continues all the way down to a seventh or lower finish for Bottas, which would see Hamilton clinch the title wherever he ends up.
      Hamilton spoke about the potential achievement and noted that matching Schumacher would be something to be ‘incredibly proud’ of.
      “Matching an icon like Michael; I’d be incredibly proud of that,” Hamilton said.
      “But it’s more the message it sends to not just kids, but mostly kids, that you have to dream bigger than you think you can dream and don’t let anyone tell you you can’t go for that.” More

      Lewis Hamilton says his fight for equality means more to him than a record-equalling seventh F1 world title

      by

      LEWIS HAMILTON says his campaign to promote equality means more to him than a seventh world title.
      The Brit can equal Michael Schumacher’s record of seven championships in Turkey on Sunday — as long as he finishes ahead of Mercedes team-mate Valtteri Bottas.

      Lewis Hamilton says fight for equality means more than a seventh F1 world titleCredit: AP:Associated Press

      Hamilton, 35, has been unstoppable during this Covid-hit season, winning nine of the 13 races.
      While off the track, he has promoted Black Lives Matter and highlighted inequality and environmental issues across the world.
      He has used his platform as Formula One’s most successful driver of all time to help raise awareness — and says that is more special to him than another title.
      Hamilton said: “The numbers and the figures and the titles and all that stuff, it perhaps appears to mean more from the outside.

      “Watching the TV and watching Michael get the seventh and being like, ‘Wow, that’s seven’.
      “But when you’re in it, it’s different. We’re going to continue to fight for more championships, we’re going to continue to try and improve and continue to race and do what we love doing.
      “What’s important is that journey. This year has been combined with the fight for equality and learning what’s happening around the world and being a little bit more aware of surroundings.
      “Naturally, matching an icon like Michael, I’d be incredibly proud of that. But I think it’s more the message that it sends to people.

      “Not just kids but hopefully mostly kids because they’re the future, that you have to dream bigger than you think and don’t let anyone tell you can’t go for that.”

      Perhaps, given that the title takes second billing to his work for equality, Hamilton says he is not thinking about matching Schumacher’s total this weekend.
      Instead he wants to take it all in his stride knowing  he has a comfortable 85-point margin over Bottas with four races to go.
      He added: “I am just focused on trying to do a good job, just taking it one race at a time, trying to do the best we can as a team, not thinking about anything else.
      “I have learned not to add pressure that’s unnecessary. I have four races to battle for those points, so I don’t put it all on to one weekend, one day.
      “For me, it is another race. I need to approach it exactly as I have in the past.
      “Maybe then that’s why sometimes it’s a shock. All of a sudden it hits you because you have not thought about it much and you don’t know what to say, because you never truly know whether it is going to happen.
      “I am not focused on the ‘what if?’ I am focused on preparing myself the same as before to try to deliver the way I have all season.”

      The ten greatest F1 drivers of all-time – according to SunSport’s motorsport correspondent Ben Hunt
      Nonetheless it seems a formality — although it could have been a lot different had he not decided to join Mercedes from McLaren in 2013.
      Hamilton admits it took some convincing from Ross Brawn and Niki Lauda — who were both working for Mercedes at the time — when they first approached him about signing.
      He said: “I had first spoken to Niki. I was back home in Monaco and he’s like, ‘You’ve got to come to the team’. And I wasn’t convinced necessarily at the beginning.
      “I think the convincing stage, which really made me look into it more, was when Ross came around my mum’s house and sat in the kitchen and we had tea.
      “He showed me what the plan was for the team. That was the real, in-depth insight into what the team was planning and the changes they were trying to do.
      “So that was really the ‘selling’ point. With Niki we worked on the layout of the deal.”

      Once his seventh title is wrapped up, either this weekend on the outskirts of Istanbul or in the next race in Bahrain, Hamilton will switch his attention to signing a new deal.
      It is expected to be a three-year contract worth around £40million a year — but as yet, nothing is signed.
      He added: “I am very conscious of the idea I want to continue with Mercedes. I’d love to help them on this quest of pushing for change.
      “They are taking their cars green, electrifying more and I want to help them on that road, I want to help them push for diversity.
      “There is a lot to discuss and go through but it is something we will do if not after the job is done, then at the end of the year.
      “Nothing is set in stone — it is just about talking about it. I don’t feel I’m finished. I don’t feel moving forward . . . there are always areas to improve.
      “I love racing and the challenge and I don’t think that is going to change any time soon.”

      Hamilton branded the Turkish track as ‘s**t with a capital S’Credit: EPA
      Hamilton’s title-winning hopes got off to a slippery start in yesterday’s practice.
      With no running since being resurfaced, the track was thick with dust, meaning the drivers were left struggling for grip.
      Hamilton sat out a large chunk of first practice as others tiptoed their way around, while in the afternoon session, Red Bull’s Max Verstappen topped the time-sheets.
      Charles Leclerc was second quickest for Ferrari, with Bottas third and Hamilton fourth.

      Hamilton said: “It was a bit of a disaster today.
      “This track is such a fantastic circuit and I don’t fully understand why they spent millions to re-do the surface of a track.
      “They could have cleaned it instead of wasting their money and now the track is worse than Portimao.
      “So for us, the tyres aren’t working and you see it.
      “It is like an ice rink out there, so you don’t get the enjoyment of the lap out there and I don’t see that change there.
      “It is terrifying the whole way around. It is like having wet patches the whole way around and I guess the oil is seeping from the Tarmac.
      “It is s**t with a capital S.”

      F1 Turkish Grand Prix LIVE RESULTS: Latest updates as Lewis Hamilton guns for seventh world title

      by

      LEWIS HAMILTON is closing in on his seventh world title as F1 rolls on with the Turkish Grand Prix this week.
      Hamilton will secure the title in Istanbul on Sunday if team-mate Valtteri Bottas does not outscore him by more than seven points.

      Follow ALL of the latest updates below…

      FP2 IS DONE
      Verstappen leads the way for Red Bull, Leclerc keeps Ferrari’s hopes of a revival alive with a solid second. Bottas in P3 and Hamilton in P4.

      13 MINS TO GO
      The teams are now nearing the end of their programmes. No major issues for anyone mechanically in this session, but tyres still proving difficult.

      MERC IMPROVING
      It has been a scrappy session but you can slowly see Mercedes getting on top of this track.
      It is dirty and dusty and very slippery but after a difficult FP1, they are slowly climbing up the timesheets in FP2.
      Bottas is in third and Hamilton in fourth place.

      ANOTHER SPIN FOR RUSSELL
      The Williams man loses control and slides into a spin. There is comparatively little downforce on that car, so no wonder he is struggling more than others.

      VETTEL LOCKS UP
      And his tyres are instantly destroyed. This is proving to be extremely tricky out there.
      It is Leclerc, Verstappen, Albon, Hamilton, Gasly, Vettel, Norris, Bottas in the pecking order.

      FERRARI GOING WELL
      Now this is a surprise as we have a Ferrari in P1 and P2. They seem to be fairing better on the low-grip surface than the Mercedes due.
      Hamilton in P4 and Bottas in P6.
      Early days yet, though…

      ONE HOUR TO GO
      Albon is again looking quick in P1.
      The Red Bull man desperately needs a good weekend here. And so far things are going smoothly enough.

      TYRES ARE PROVING A PROBLEM HERE
      This morning it was all too slippery, not the tyres are not lasting as long as these should.
      Worth remembering that when Red Bull last won here, Vettel did FIVE pitstops.
      Could we see more stops on Sunday? Hope so.

      FP2 IS GO
      And there is plenty of action on track. Bottas is top of the time sheets.
      Hamilton is in P2 having recovered from this morning lack of running.

      FP1 IS DONE – VERSTAPPEN TOPS THE SESSION
      It is a Red Bull 1-2 as Verstappen leads Albon. It is the Milton Keynes-based team’s 300th F1 GP this weekend.
      Leclerc a surprise in P3 and Gasly P4.
      Hamilton was only 15th quickest.

      TWO MINS TO GO
      Alex Albon is the quickest man on track, followed by Leclerc and then Vettel.

      A WORD ON THE CHAMPION
      He has spent the majority of this session in the team’s garage but Lewis Hamilton is now out on the track.
      He’s comfortably inside the top 10 having done half the number of laps as everyone else. He’s left it late in the hope that the track improves.

      SO THAT SMALL FAULT…
      Sainz now stops on track.
      Perhaps that small fault was not as small as McLaren first thought.
      His car is being pushed backwards by the marshals to the escape road – although now it appears stuck.

      UPDATE ON SAINZ
      McLaren say he has a small electrical issue on his car. Nothing major to worry about.

      A LITTLE OVER 35 MINUTES TO RUN
      And Bottas is topping the session. The Finn needs to outscore Hamilton by eight points this weekend to take the title fight to Bahrain.
      That’s a big ask…
      Verstappen in P2, Leclerc P3 and Vettel in P4.
      Where is Hamilton?
      He is currently bottom of the timesheets as he has not set a time yet. He’s waiting for the track to clean up.

      SAINZ TOLD TO PIT
      Problem for the McLaren man as his engineer sounds panicked: “Scenario One. We have some things to check on the engine.”

      WE KNOW THIS NOW, BUT…
      Why does F1 not put on some support races, especially with these tracks that have not been used for years?
      We are 30 minutes into the session and only now can you see the racing line being marked as the rubber is laid down.
      Surely a local racing event would help clean things up quicker.

      LOTS OF SLIDING
      Just two drivers have been able to put in timed laps – Bottas and Vettel. The rest are still tip-toeing around the circuit looking for grip.

      SESSION RESTARTED
      But it is all too difficult to keep the cars on on the track. This is going to be a fun session.
      Bottas is the latest driver to slide off track.

      RED FLAG
      We have a cone down and the session has been stopped.

      FP1 IS GO
      And birthday boy Lando Norris is first out.
      Max Verstappen also hits the track. He laughs over the radio and says “It is like driving on ice”.
      That will be the dirty track I was mentioning.
      And if Max says it is difficult, then you can be sure it is.

      FP1 IS ALL SET
      Beautiful day here in Turkey. It is sunny and a little crisp, just 14 degrees but should be warming up nicely later.
      This track is looking in excellent state, yes a little dirty given F1 has not been here since 2011, plus it has recently been resurfaced, the the surface will need some scrubbing up.

      Can Hamilton seal his seventh world title this weekend in Turkey?

      LEW BEAUTY
      Lewis Hamilton 35, is vying to win his SEVENTH F1 world title this weekend – equalling German legend Michael Schumacher.
      Hamilton currently has a lead of 78 points over Mercedes team-mate Valtteri Bottas – needing to extend that to 85 to clinch the crown after another dominant season.
      The Mercedes man has already eclipsed Schumacher’s win record – having now sealed his 93rd Grand Prix victory.

      Lewis Hamilton insists campaign to promote equality means more to him than record-equalling seventh F1 title
