[MOTORSPORTS news - autosport.com] Fernando Alonso - 5th: "Compared to the Spanish Grand Prix, I think the situation is a bit better, down to the fact the track characteristics are different and do not require the maximum aerodynamic downforce, but rather an intermediate level which is better suited to our car. However, it would be a surprise if the Red Bulls were not ahead of everyone.

[Sportingo Latest] Red Bull still dominating Formula 1 ahead of Turkish Grand Prix ...: The F-duct ought to prove an advantage for McLaren and Ferrari, and the Italian team have upgraded theirs since they last used it in the Spanish Grand Prix. Analysis after the Barcelona race proved that the F-duct made the car much quicker on long straights, but far slower round corners due to a large reduction in downforce.
[YallaF1.com] New diffuser spotted on Ferrari's F10 | YallaF1.com: “We know that in Barcelona we had a disadvantage in the total downforce generated by the car and have worked on this issue,” Fernando Alonso is quoted as saying.
[F1 Fanatic - The Formula 1 Blog] Technical review: Spain and Monaco: There is absolutely no reason whatsoever to believe that Ferrari and McLaren cannot catch RedBull this year. This is the terrific pitch of F1 and what makes for a great season—the battle among the engineers to find a fresh 3 tenths and the drivers to extract it on the track.
[Motorsport.com: F1 news] News > Monaco GP: Ferrari preview - Motorsport.com: Although a Prancing Horse has been first past the chequered flag a total ofeight times here, in more recent years, Lady Luck has chosen not to lookkindly on our efforts and Ferrari's last Monaco victory dates back to 2001.And those most heartbreaking podium positions, second and third havefeatured in our Monaco history no less than seventeen and twenty one timesrespectively. As for our current drivers, Fernando Alonso has won twice withhis previous teams, in 2006 and 2007, while Felipe Massa has one third placepodium finish to his name.Even when the team was the dominant force over theseason, winning in the Principality has proved impossible, either due to badluck such as the 2004 collision in the tunnel between Montoya andSchumacher, or down to the weather such as in 2008 when Massa had startedfrom pole.
[James Allen on F1 - The official website] Red Bull stun opposition in qualifying for Spanish Grand Prix ...: Fernando Alonso was fourth for Ferrari ahead of Jenson Button with Michael Schumacher a season best sixth, beating his team mate Nico Rosberg for the first time this year. Robert Kubica did another excellent job in the Renault to get ahead of one of the Mercedes and one of the Ferraris, as Felipe Massa again suffered a bit of a slump with ninth place, some 7/10ths of a second slower than Alonso.

[FORMULA 1 LATEST NEWS] Turkish Grand Prix preview - from Motorsport.co.uk: Christian Horner has said the team may run its version of the F-duct for the first time this weekend.Bear in mind that when Ferrari tested its wing-stalling device for the first time in China it postponed its race introduction until Spain, so we may not see Red Bull's in action until Montreal.Expect McLaren to be back on form in Istanbul after a tough weekend in Monaco a track which was not expected to suit the MP4-25, which, in contrast to last year's car, is more at home in fast corners.Button will certainly be hoping to turn the page after two compromised races.A dashboard failure early on in the Spanish Grand Prix caused problems at his pit stop, which let Michael Schumacher through, and then made it harder for Button to overtake the Mercedes as he couldn't see the lights indicating when to change gear.Then at Monaco a cover left on one of his radiator inlets as he drove to the grid caused his Mercedes power plant to cook itself.Button may have more points than Lewis Hamilton but his team-mate has the upper hand at the moment on pure performance.He's had a couple of tenths in hand in most sessions and drove a fine yet cruelly unrewarded race in Spain.Fernando Alonso has a slightly larger margin over Felipe Massa at Ferrari.If Massa can't redress the balance at Istanbul, where he won three years in a row from 2006 to 2008, it will not bode well for the rest of the season.The concern for Ferrari this weekend is the F10 has worked better on the softer tyre compound mix this year but at Istanbul Bridgestone is bringing its hardest tyre to cope with the punishingly long, fast turn eight.Renault is, wisely, playing down expectations following its podium finish in Monaco.Istanbul is not a track where a driver can rise above his car in the way Robert Kubica did at Monte Carlo; remember Hamilton's failure to escape Q1 in the evil-handling MP4-24 here last year.The R30 is nothing like as bad as last year's McLaren was at this stage of the season, but it's still going to be a challenge for Kubica to get among the top eight.Mercedes is reverting to its long-wheelbase W01 as used in Barcelona this weekend.Nico Rosberg endured a difficult race with the new car, finishing behind team-mate Schumacher for the first time this year.Was this the beginning of a trend that will continue with the revised car We'll gain fresh insight into that question at Istanbul.Rosberg is the last of eight drivers in the field who could be leading the world championship after this weekend's race.But, realistically, expect the driver with the biggest haul of points on Sunday afternoon to be climbing out of something designed by Adrian Newey.Keith CollantineCheck out Keith's blog F1 Fanatic
[F1 Fanatic - The Formula 1 Blog] Webber beats Vettel to pole as Red Bull dominate Spanish GP ...: Look lets just face it,RedBull Have the Quickest car at the Moment and have a big advantage than the others, its even bigger than they did in the past 4 races,In Qualifying Mark’s Pole lap was 8 Tenths quicker than the next non red bull car(Which was Lewis in the McLaren) even Vettel’s best lap was nearly three quarters of a second quicker than Lewis’s best lap.Im a Big McLaren fan but i have to admit 3rd was the best we could do and that Red Bull are the Fastest guys out on Track.But tomorrow we’ll see no one has actually won from pole so far this season and Mark is very Unlucky at crucial times. but every driver who started on pole for the Spanish GP in the past decade has won from pole.For me Lewis or Seb to win the race
