Felipe Massa has won the last two Turkish Grands Prix for Ferrari, and he has won them both at a canter. The circuit is one that the Brazilian loves and with his third consecutive pole position he seems well-placed to win again.
The future course of KERS
The FIA recently laid out its desires for the introduction of kinetic energy recovery systems (KERS) in the course of the next few years. The proposal was for a system in 2009, using just the rear wheels and a sliding scale of development between 2009 and 2013.

A hack looks back - The Turkish GP
By Mike Doodson
This weekend's Turkish GP will be the country's fourth, which seems surprising when you recall what happened after the race two years ago.
The Mole - The power of intelligence
With the French doing rather badly in Formula 1, The Mole has not seen much of Isabelle, his beautiful spy within the Renault empire. He thought of her suddenly on Sunday afternoon as he was walking on the grid in Barcelona, glad-handing and checking out the grid girls.
Interview - Martin Whitmarsh on Heikki Kovalainen and the Spanish Grand Prix
The Spanish Grand Prix was a bitter-sweet race for the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes team. On the one hand Lewis Hamilton returned to form, finishing third and adding to his score in the Formula 1 Drivers' World Championship, but on the other hand, Heikki Kovalainen crashed heavily.
The Mole - When the chips are down
"Right," said The Mole. "Rule number one: we are not going to mention the word Mosley. No jokes about whips, chains, hookers or whatever. We are here to talk about motor racing, and that business has got nothing to do with motor racing."
A hack looks back - On despots and elsewhere
By Mike Doodson
What with Robert Mugabe defying the wishes of the Zimbabwean people and clutching fast to his country's discredited presidency, not to mention Vladimir Putin's dubious plan to stay in charge of Russia, dictators are much in the news right now. A curse on them all.
Conspiracy theories in Formula 1
Max Mosley has hired the private investigation company Quest to look into the question of whether the revelations about his sexual activities were the result of a plot against him. Quest has been asked to identify who, if anyone, was behind the investigation which Mosley claims was going on into his private life.

The full effect of the Mosley Scandal is still to be seen. FIA President Max Mosley is clinging on to office and there are few outside the FIA who understand the logic of why he is still there.
The most important thing
For the last few days the Formula 1 world has held its breath. Almost nothing was said. At the Bahrain Motor Sport Business Forum no-one was willing to talk publicly about the allegations levelled at FIA President Max Mosley by the News of the World newspaper on Sunday.
The constant pursuit of numbers
Bernie Ecclestone is a man who likes numbers. They are the way in which he can measure progress. His chief aim is to expand the Formula 1 circus year after year, pushing up the number of viewers, and reaching the widest possible audience around the world.
The question of racism
Racism is an ugly thing and the fact that a number of Spanish fans felt the need to be offensive to Lewis Hamilton during the recent test is not something that can be considered acceptable in the sport.
Who is where in the F1 pecking order in 2008?
The Formula 1 teams were testing again over the weekend in Barcelona and although times are still an unreliable guide - the two Toro Rossos were fastest on Saturday - the Formula 1 teams are now beginning to get a clearer idea of who is where in terms of overall speed, as the engineers in the different team have had a chance to digest the data that was created at the tests to date.
Management at Ferrari
One of the great mysteries in Formula 1 at the moment is who is going to be doing what at Ferrari in 2008. The company has given details of its racing programmes with Stefano Domenicali named as the director of the racing department and various managers reporting to him have been nominated.
Thoughts as the New Year beckons
Formula 1 goes in 2008 with a curiously contradictory image: things are going well, despite the sport's best efforts to be self-destructive. The success of Lewis Hamilton was such a great story that it put F1 back onto the front pages across the world.
