Well, if there is anything badly wrong about the McLaren-Team it'd be the damn pit-stops!
There is an average stopping-time of about 3.5secs while the one and only team that is way worse seems to be McLaren! Throughout the last race I have already noticed that McLaren is way behind but this time it was more than obvious...
The time period for a pit-stop for McLaren is within the range of 3.5secs to 15.5secs... really impressive! Those guys should let it do by the DTM-Mercedes mechanics. They are always around the 3.5secs!
Anyway, the overtaking seems to be way too easy due to the DRS and the tyres-strategy takes off the racing from the real racers. Yet McLaren seemed way too low this race, even beaten by Alonso which is really painful. And Mercedes GP, especially the well known and "legendary" Michael Schumacher, showed a rather poor performance when you consider the qualification. Nico is definately the team-leader, Schumi just should leave... why not giving place for the awesome Kamui Kobayashi who advanced from the very last place towards 10th in the points while 7 times worldchampion Michael Schumacher ended up at 12th?!
If you'd ask me I'd say the man of this race was definately: Kamui Kobayashi
Finally another senseful sunday! The race will be awesome of that I am sure. It looks very good for a podium for Nico Rosberg, his performance is always remarkable and due to the tragic out of Kamui Kobayashi the both Mercedes GP drivers were able to save one set of brand new option tyres because Kamui was nolonger a threat to knock one of them out.
Yet one must be careful about the good starts of both of the McLaren pilots which is actually not troubling my mind for I support both of the teams obviously!
And yet who knows, maybe the dogfight between the RBR teammates will have its first anniversary so that another McLaren double is free to be done...
A really great result for Nico Rosberg with a rather dissapointing performance of McLaren. RBR seems unbeatable again which is no good sign at all. But who knows what might happen throughout the race. But since the both RBR even were able to save tyres I suppose it will be a struggle against windmills...
McLaren playing the Poker game and Mercedes GP in a real good shape! But the best news so far is that Ferrari sucks still!
My prediction for the Quali:
1# Vettel
2# Hamilton
3# Button
Jenson burnt the fastest time onto the Turkish tarmac in 2nd training session followed by the three other Mercedes-powered drivers Rosberg, Hamilton and Schumacher. This result is actually very nice to me yet the third training and the whole rest of the weekend must be equal to the 2nd training result to seriously attack the RBR-Team.
Let's keep our fingers crossed for more awesome results like this and a repeat of last year's Double!
