Taking the practice rounds and the qualifying session into account, it seems like Mercedes drivers will be flying in the Turkish GP tomorrow. Maybe Hamilton got a ten-place grid penalty but his performance was just fascinating for all of us. He broke the fastest lap record of this track many times and finished at the first place by a really decent gap. J. P. Montoya was holding the time record on this track before. Techically, he is still holding it as Hamilton didn't break this record in a race. But he might do so in the race too. I wonder if Verstappen will manage to win here this time while Hamilton is trying to go as up as possible.

It's looking to be not a RedBull win here, Max seems to be struggling a bit on this track his car seems not balanced enough so I expect from Hamilton to catch up with Verstappen this time and the problem will be if they go wheel to wheel this time.
Verstappen wouldn't yield in this race because the gap will be higher for him an it could be finishing as a winner in the race after not enough for him to to get back as leader in Championship points.
Ferrari was good on this track also, leclerc was just 1tenth of a second behind Verstappen, also Sainz knocked Ricciardo of reaching Q2 and did an amazing job pulling his friend in Q2 to make it to Q3 so in this race I think they are going to get more points then Maclaren despite Sainz to be starting from the back of the grid.
