Turkish Grand Prix – Friday practice
Highlight of first practice session – quite a few drivers spun/slid off because the track is so green
Pedro de la Rosa set the best time of the session @ 1:27.882
Minardi have a new Friday driver – Toccacelo
Still lots of cars spinning / running wide, including CK (more than once), NK, FM, KR, MS, JV, VL, RZ, JM, RB
The circuit was designed by the same person who created the Malaysian track (Herman Tilker), and you can see the similarities.
Turn 8 looks interesting – it’s really four apexes.
There’s also a fair bit of elevation change.
The forecast is for rain “sometime” this weekend; it looks a bit grey & overcast but it’s unlikely to rain during this practice session.
It looks like a lot of debris being thrown up in some corners but it’s actually the paint from the rumble strips!
Quickest drivers: R.Zonta (1:25.583); PdlR; JPM; KR; JB; VL; FA; GF.
New boy Toccacelo is still a good 7secs off the pace and down in last place
