Webber leads final practice in Istanbul

10 May 2008 / Results / Photos

Red Bull Racing driver Mark Webber finished the third and final free practice session in this weekend's Turkish Grand Prix on top of the time sheets. The Australian was just ahead of former F1 champ Fernando Alonso and Webber's team mate Coulthard. Last year's Turkish GP winner Massa ended fifth.

The Turkish Grand Prix weekend continued on Saturday morning with a 60-minute free practice session ahead of this afternoon's qualifying session. Most drivers focussed on the car's race set-up.

On Friday afternoon Red Bull driver Mark Webber suffered from a heavy crash. The front of his car was completely destroyed, though the Australian driver was doing fine fortunately. In Saturday's free practice session Webber showed the car was well repaired overnight as he managed to complete the fastest lap of the weekend so far. His team mate David Coulthard confirmed Red Bull's strong performance by clocking the third fastest time, just behind Fernando Alonso.

The teams are extremely competitive in Istanbul. The first sixteen drivers all finished within one second and this afternoon's qualifying session promises to become an interesting fight.
