The Saturday Champion
Dominance on Saturday has played a big part in determining the shape of this year's championship fight, and in Turkey, it also did much to decide the outcome of the race. Richard Barnes explains
In terms of the expected and climactic showdown for the world championship, Sunday's Turkish GP provided the perfect result - the four contenders finishing in reverse championship order, with each closing the gap incrementally to those in front.
For Lewis Hamilton, the second right-front tyre failure in three race weekends must have seemed like purgatory, and payback for the outstanding mechanical reliability that he has benefited from all season.
