In the Istanbul qualifying session, the Brazilian from Ferrari set the fastest time ahead of Hamilton. Raikkonen was third, then Alonso, who spoke about his problems at Woking. “I didn’t receive the credit for the six tenths that I brought with me to the team”

ISTANBUL (Turkey), 25 agosto 2007 - Felipe Massa took pole position of the GP of Turkey in his Ferrari, lapping in 1′27″329. Lewis Hamilton, the current leader of the World Championship was second. The second row of the grid is taken by the other Ferrari of Raikkonen and the second McLaren of Alonso.

BALANCE - The qualifyin sessions were lovely and very balanced. Massa took pole from Lewis by just 44 thousandths of a second. Raikkonen made a small mistake which saw him remain 2 tenths behind his teammate. Behind Alonso, the lonely BMWs of Kubica and Heidfeld. Seventh time for Kovalainen’s Renault, while Nico Rosberg was eighth.

ALONSO’S DOUBTS - This morning, Alonso confirmed his doubt regarding his future at McLaren. The Spaniard said “I don’t have problems with Hamilton and he doesn’t have problems with me. Logically, we aren’t best friends but we respect each other”

CONSIDERTION - What bothers Fernando is something else, the lack of consideration for what he thinks to have brought to the team these months: “I remember - he said for Reuters - when in December I first drove the car and how it was in Australia (the first race). Those six tenths which I brought signified nothing when I found myself fighting with Lewis. This is the main reason why I am in a conflict with the team. However, who doesn’t have problems with his employer?”
