More misery for Hamilton in Istanbul

Nine reasons why Ferrari will dominate again in Turkey:

1. They've won there in each of the last two years.

2. All three previous Turkish Grand Prix winners currently drive for Ferrari (Massa - 2006 and 2007, Raikkonen - 2005).

3. The highest a McLaren has come in Istanbul in the past two years is third.

4. Similarly, McLaren's points haul in Istanbul since 2006 of 14 is hugely eclipsed by Ferrari's 34.

5. The Ferraris have won the last three Grands Prix that have taken place this season.

6. chickendinner superfact: They have also won five of the last six Grands Prix.

7. Felipe Massa has dominated this race in the last two years - securing pole both times and winning.

8. Lewis Hamilton could only manage fifth-place last season despite qualifying second.

9. The BMW Saubers have never got within 35 seconds of the Ferraris in Istanbul.

Any other business:

» The polesitter has always gone on to win this race.

» The fastest lap-setter has always been the teammate of the winning driver in each of the last three Turkish Grands Prix.

» And the winning driver's teammate has always finished in the top three - once second and twice third.
