The first lap was the most decisive for Ferrari

Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro finished the Turkish Grand Prix with a sixth place and 3 points for Felipe Massa and a ninth place for Kimi Raikkonen. The team remains fourth in the Constructors’ championship, 12.5 points adrift of Toyota. An incident packed opening lap is what upset the race for the two Ferrari men, followed by a race pace that was far from optimum.

The race was won by Jenson Button, who has now been victorious in six out of seven races. It looked for a while as though the Red Bull cars might challenge him, but an early mistake from Vettel saw the German end up third, behind his team-mate Mark Webber.

Race day was the hottest of the whole weekend, with air temperature over 30 degrees as the cars lined up on the grid, with Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa in sixth and seventh places on the grid for Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro.
