Turkish organizers are ahead of the start of the racing weekend high pressure washed asphalt, which is expected to provide significantly more grip than last year. We can say that their intention succeeded and that we did not see speed skating as we experienced last year.
But we definitely saw it Mercedes, despite fifth place Lewis Hamilton, in which we will never know whether he would have kept third place in the pits without a late stop, was with Bottas so sovereign that the question already arises as to whether perhaps the German team has again found some extra speed with which to be able to break away from the end of the championship "Red bulls".
This is definitely a matter that should worry those responsible at Red Bullu, since with the exception Zandvoort they haven’t shown a dominant performance lately, though Max Verstappen he regularly collects the maximum points available to him. In Turkey, after a long time, he came to his aid Sergio Perez, who is still a big debtor this season, but with the match against the seven-time world champion and third place in Istanbul indicated that his form was on the rise.
It's in the last part of the season Mercedes regarding the configuration of the tracks in the advantage, since after Red Bullthis taste above all Interlagos in Mexico City, while Mercedes is supposed to suit more Austin and all three races in the Gulf countries.
