Who is actually going to this circuit?

Or, should I rephrase that, Who actually goes to this circuit?

P1 is in 4 days and theres still not one single ticket type sold out!

Turkey is clearly the new Spain. Before Alonso, Spain was a great race to got to from Britain because flights were cheap, tickets were cheap, the weather's good and nobody goes to watch it so you have the run of the place.

Sweet.

I'm struggling this year. I don't know whether to support Vettel to catch up with Button, or for Massa to pull a blinder.

Really, this weekend if Massa won, I'd be over the moon. It's been suggested that Massa is simply the king of anti-clockwise circuits. Makes sense doesn't it. Since he's been unbeatable at anti-clockwise circuits for the last two years. Interlagos and Istanbul. I don't think it's likely since the Red Bull will be mighty here, and KERS won't help much since the run to turn 1 is pretty short.

But anways, I want Massa to win. It's a long shot, but I remain hopefull. Just as long as Jenson doesn't win, AGAIN!

I want Massa to win to keep his domination going. Same with Rossi's 7 wins at Italy in a row but that didn't continue last weekend.

Yeah. I mean it will be a miracle if he gets 'the hat trick' again.

Massa wont make it. Either Button or Raikkonen.

I don't think so. In equal machinery, it would take a mistake or problems with Massa's car/one of his pit stops for Raikkonen (or indeed, anyone) to beat him around one of his special tracks. It is why I think the race at Interlagos this year will be spectacular - Barrichello versus Massa. They both love their home circuit and it would create some interesting racing. But, I digress...

odds are against Massa winning 4 straight, especially since he is not in the pace setting car.

Wasn't there a wet Moto GP race at Istanbul a few years ago?

Or did I dream that?
