Massa covered the most number of laps with 26. Piquet and Alonso covered the least number of laps with 15 laps each
The top 10 are separated by 0.468 seconds. The top 15 by just 0.755.

It will be a very close qualifying

1st Qualifying session for the Turkish Grand Prix starting in a few minutes.

Massa was very quick this morning so he must be a contender for Pole, of course the Brawns and the Red Bulls are also expected to be strong
