Turkish delight for Massa

A DELIGHTED Felipe Massa swept to a hat-trick of Turkish Grand Prix victories from pole yesterday when he delivered another domineering display for Ferrari at Istanbul Park.

The Brazilian triumphed by 3.7 seconds ahead of McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton with Finland’s reigning champion Kimi Raikkonen less than half-a-second behind in third in the other Ferrari.

“This feels fantastic,” said Massa. “But actually, it was a very difficult race. Lewis pushed me very hard for a lot of the race and I was worried for a while, but I knew he was lighter than me.
