Lewis Hamilton led McLaren to their second one-two of the season in a
dramatic twist to the Turkish Grand Prix after Red Bull's Mark Webber
and Sebastian Vettel collided while in the lead.The racing incident
happed on lap 40 in the approach to turn 12 as Vettel took the inside
line to overtake his team-mate. They touched wheels and both spun off
with Vettel suffering damage to his rear wheel, his race over.Webber
was able to drive back to the pits to replace his nose-cone, and return
ahead of the chasing Mercedes GP cars of Michael Schumacher and Nico
Rosberg.There was another dramatic moment on lap 50 as Jenson Button
closed on Hamilton, taking him in to turn 12, before Hamilton fought
back to regain the lead. That is what we had been waiting for: tense,
overtaking action—but the fun was short-lived as the call came for both
drivers to preserve tyres and more critically fuel consumption to get
them to the end of the race.Hamilton then led Button home, 2.4 seconds
adrift, while a fuming Webber completed took the final podium place,
scant consolation for another magnificent weekend.Before the Red Bull
collision the race had been little to write home about for the
championship hopefuls as Webber led from pole. Vettel briefly had
second on the first lap before Hamilton regained.None of the tricky
corners played their part, and we had to wait until the pit stops to
get a change in the top four as Hamilton pitted.Seeing the McLaren
mechanics ready for Hamilton, Red Bull responded by bringing in Webber
at the same time, allowing Vettel to jump Hamilton. And it was back to
the familiar as Webber lead from Vettel with the McLarens left to
chase.BBC pundits and others called it the best race of the season. It
was far from it. Those fleeting moments of in-house fighting on track
made the race something; otherwise it was largely a procession.The
Mercedes of Schumacher and Rosberg were notable for finishing fourth
and fifth, but you could be forgiven for forgetting they were out
there, such was their inability or unwillingness to push on.
Schumacher's post-race interview said it all: they did what they could,
and got the reward they were looking for.The post-race debriefs will be
something to watch out for with the Red Bull meeting expected to be a
bit feisty. The team threw away a lot of points today, and that was
down to their drivers.McLaren had the pace to live with Red Bull this
weekend, and are now one point ahead in the Constructors' Championship
with 172 to Red Bull's 171.In the Drivers' Championship Webber extends
his lead at the top, with Button and Hamilton closing in. Vettel's
crash drops him from joint-first to fifth; such is the new scoring
system for 2010.Elsewhere, a late puncture for Vitaly Petrov saw the
Russian lose his top 10 place after a solid race, eventually finishing
15th. Ferrari's dreadful weekend continued, failing to make any
improvement on qualifying as Felipe Massa finished ahead of Fernando
Alonso in seventh and eighth behind Renault's Robert Kubica.Adrian
Sutil finished a solid ninth ahead of Sauber's Kamui Kobayashi who
rounded out the top ten to score his first points of the season.Virgin
Racing were the best of the new teams as both cars finished. Despite
Lotus having a good weekend, both cars again failed to make it to the
end with hydraulic problems, while both Hispania Racing cars also
suffered a mechanical failure.
