Turkish GP Facts, Stats & Memoirs
Why are Ferrari's chances looking better for Turkey? Who has been the surprising strongest driver over the past six races? Who made a promising debut with Ferrari 14 years ago, and what happened 20 years ago this week? Marcel Schot brings the answers and more anecdotes on the fourteenth round of the season
With the race in Turkey we are seeing the fourth new Grand Prix in six years time, after Malaysia in 1999 and both Bahrain and China last year. The previous three were all dominated by Ferrari, as was the first race at Indianapolis, which marked the return of the US Grand Prix in 2000 after a long absence.
The 1999 Malaysian Grand Prix saw the return of Michael Schumacher after his broken leg. The German scored pole position nearly a second faster than anyone else and heavily assisted his teammate Eddie Irvine in making the race a one-two.
