I just woke up to check on the results. It seems Massa has won his 3rd Turkey GP in a row. Hamilton finished second and Raikkonnen finished 3rd less than a second behind the Mclaren.

Did anyone have a chance to watch this? I was wondering if it was a good race.

i saw it this morning and saw it again this afternoon, they replayed it.

kimi had a lil incident with another car (i think a mclaren, i 4get) and it damaged his front wing and it put a slow leak in the other cars tire, causing him to pit on the first lap...even with the damaged wing kimi had the fastest lap time.....talk about skill!!!

i support mclaren so it was good to see a podium spot for hamilton...

edit.........
and i hate watchin ferrari win but it was a good race...

^^ So jealous! Wish I could go to a GP. Maybe next year I'll go to the Barcelona GP considering most of my family lives there :P

Frank if you like Mclaren why do you have a Ferrari pic in your avatar!? lol

I used to go to Watkins Glen, NY when I was a kid in the 70's to see all the Grand Prix races. My cousins still live a 1/2 mile from the track up there. That was some Great racing back then!

I definitely thought it was a good race. Definitely several nice passing battles in those final three turns. Kimi and Kovalienan (sp?) were the ones that got together just a hair in the first turn, causing the bad wing on Kimi and the bad tire on Kovalienan. Hamilton was running a low fuel 3 stop strategy for the race, trying to maximize the use of the hard compound Bridgestones as they couldn't get the softs to work. So it minimized the time to run on the soft compounds and allowed them to run lighter/faster with less fuel. I definitely enjoyed the race.

Can't wait for Monaco in two weeks though, should be fun.

I know they're not the best but the first one is good enough for an avatar ;)

And yea Monaco is a pain in the games cause its so narrow. Imagine driving fast in an F1 car in real life. Scary.

Monaco up next. I would like to see Hamilton put something together and go p1.

PS3 monaco is very hard and on easy it takes the entire race to make it into first when starting in 22nd (on easy mode).
