There’s no doubt that Istanbul Park is one of the best tracks ever penned by Tilke, with parts of the circuit having been compared over the years to similar features at Spa-Francorchamps, Interlagos and Laguna Seca. The crown jewel of Intercity Istanbul Park, however, remains Turn 8, an incredibly fast, bumpy, multi-apex downhill left-hander that’s a proper test of drivers’ commitment.
The track’s proximity to Istanbul gives you a perfect chance to explore this fascinating city – while for the more suntan-focused Formula 1 fans, you’re just a short internal flight away from some of the country’s supreme beaches in the south of the country, or the Black Sea resorts in the east.
Follow us later in the afternoon for the latest news, info, updates and live results from the Istanbul Park, as the second free practice session for the 2021 Turkish Grand Prix is about to get underway, with Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc at the wheel of the Maranello team’s SF21, ready to continue evaluating the ideal set-up ahead of qualifying and the Turkish event.
