The complexity of how a great Formula 1 qualifying lap is pulled together is always immense - even just from the driver's view, let alone the multiple layers of engineering behind it. Arguably the best qualifying lap of the Turkish weekend was that of Anthony Davidson, who succeeded in putting the Super Aguri 11th. Sitting him down and getting him to describe it just reinforces how F1 cannot even begin to get across the fascination that lies deep within it - because interest in it is so over-subscribed that the detail invariably gets lost. There just isn't time for the participants to convey it. Even when you know this, it's still brought home to you forcibly when you actually get a driver to describe something which in this case took just 1m28.002s. Another thing that strikes you is that most of the focus and detail is in the preparation and background to the lap. © 2021 Autosport
