Williams look to overturn worst-ever F1 start at Turkish Grand Prix (The Guardian)
?[Sam] Michael is in danger of being made the scapegoat for a wider and deeper malaise. But his optimism before next Sunday?s race borders on rhetoric. ?I feel we can turn around our season over the next three or four races, through Turkey, Barcelona, Monaco and Canada,? he said. ?Istanbul is a very good track, a drivers? track, and we are going there with a new front wing, a new rear wing and a new rear brake duct and with a lot more to come. There is no shortage of ideas and there will be a big difference in the coming weeks.
??Some of the gaps between the teams look very big. But I think they will close over the next few races, as the teams gravitate towards the best designs.??

Comment of the day
Are you going to the Turkish Grand Prix? Jon S has some last minute questions:
If I buy tickets at the circuit do they accept cards or only cash? I am too late to order online as I catch my flight on Tuesday at 06.30.
Also does anyone know how long the bus takes from Istanbul to the circuit and how much it costs. The timetable says the cost is 3 tickets but that doesn?t help much. Thanks!
