THE OFFICIAL TURKISH GP THREAD WITH SPOILERS

[kevin ritson]

Time to get your predictions in before tomorrow's practice...

Will Ferrari carry on their form and can Kimi overcome his deficit to Massa at this track, especially after outpacing the Brazilian at Catalunya?

Will McLaren continue their improvements from Spain and will Kovalinen be back on the pace after being declared fit?

Or will BMW get closer to the front? Renault's recent form a flash in the pan?

Autosport have showers forecast for the race, which would make things interesting, especially on a certain multi-apex left-hander...

[Altrezia]

No idea at all. I'd usually try to have a guess, but I really can't. 8 cars racing for the podium.

[another 3 points]

Id like to think both Ferraris will run off and hide, after a close run quali session. Ive a feeling McL will short fuel to try and start from the front but will end up mixing it with the BMWs. Should be a good quick race now we're down 2 cars, I'll miss seeing Sato/Davidson pushing Honda.Hope no safety cars this race so its out and out racing. Tomorrows sessions should give a true indication.

[wanacoop]

I'm going away this weekend, i'm hoping i will be able to watch it.
