In addition, the attractive AT02 from AlphaTauri made itself comfortable on the Turkish race track. After two disappointing races in Monza and Sochi, they hope for a better weekend in Istanbul.

When the circus comes to Istanbul, the excitement is at an all-time high. This season, what was once known as the “boring tracks” has produced the most action; It is rare to see a predictable race in 2021. Plus, predicting another rainy race is an exciting prospect. Aside from the Spa weekend, the rains this season have been a very dramatic addition to the races. More of that this weekend?

GP Turkey promises an exciting weekend

Despite the weather conditions, the track itself is a test masterpiece. The famous turn 8 ‘Diabolica’ is an extremely difficult and exciting turn. Several vertices and high speed characterize the slightly bumpy curve, which, if requested by the driver, also provides for some captivating overtaking maneuvers.

Designed by Hermann Tilke, he used the differences in height of the terrain to build the high-speed masterpiece of a route. In addition, the route was initially approached clockwise. Tilke’s decision to have the riders go counterclockwise, however, takes full advantage of the track’s challenges.

When the physical aspects of the race are not enough for a captivating Turkish GP, the close competition that is spread across the grid appears to only increase across the grid. Now, after the races in Monza and Sochi, the unsteady title fight would spur the two drivers to find a way forward. With only three points separating Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen, Intercity is sure to witness top races.

In addition, the midfield battle between McLaren and Ferrari is getting closer; Their drivers are also longing for more podium places. In addition, with the rain ahead, Norris would wish a release for the race at Monza.
