Turkish GP 2007 - qualifying

Felipe Massa took pole by blistering through the last couple of seconds with a fine lap in 1:27.329 secs shaving a little over 0:00.040 secs of Lewis Hamilton's timings relegating him to 2nd on the grid. Kimi and Alonso take third and fourth places respectively. Fernando Alonso set the fastest time if one was to look at the qualifying session as a whole with a 1.26.841 in Q2. He was running the softer compound tyres then and could have been on lower fuel loads and he tried Q3 with the harder compound tyres. Lewis and Felipe were about 0:00.200 quicker than Kimi and Fernando probably because they went into Q3 with lower fuel loads.


I am betting my money on the McLaren's and Fernando in particular after seeing the way he drove in Istanbul yesterday and I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up finishing 1st.
