If F1 drivers are concerned about the condition of the track during Friday’s training sessions at the Turkish Grand Prix, then there will be nothing in the Saturday sessions.
The P3 saw drivers slide all over the track as torrential rain hit the track, this was just the beginning.

As the rain faded before the qualifiers began, it was short-lived, with a red flag remaining seven minutes in the first quarter with numerous pauses throughout the session.
It also ended with a crazy jolt at the front of the net with Lance Stroll of Racing Point defeating Max Verstappen of Red Bull and Sergio Perez of Racing Point.
Australian Daniel Ricciardo will start in third grade after qualifying to fifth in great driving after struggling in previous sessions. .
Incredibly, he will start next to Lewis Hamilton, the Mercedes player who qualified for sixth, while Valtteri Bottas only managed to reach ninth..
However, the crazy session left a lot of question marks as the hosts set to spend the afternoon..
Two red flags were investigated in Q1, and a strange incident to start Q2 and a ban accusation after the qualifiers.
When Ricardo joined Sky Sports, he said it best when he said « I’m glad I did it ».
When asked if Winter Test Day was in British Formula 3 days, Ricardo said, « It could have been worse. ».
« Maybe the best way to describe it, I did a sledding training course and it expels you and never bites, there is no fist and honestly that’s how I felt today, » he said. “You’re looking for that bite, but it’s never there. So it was to survive.
Ricardo said, « It took a few years of our lives » but admitted it was nice to see the starting order mixed.
It was the first time this season that a Mercedes had not been in first place.
“For the viewers, they win, for us drivers, it’s tough,” he said. “Especially this morning, when I saw drivers lose their car in sixth gear in a row, we are passengers. We literally have our eyes wide open hoping things go straight.
It’s scheduled to rain in the morning but the water is sitting above the surface of the new path.
Ricardo said he does not know what to expect tomorrow and said he could exceed the expectations of the most wild fans.
Saturday sessions have just continued into the frenzy from Friday, as drivers are left wary of slipping the Istanbul Park circuit, which has not been used in Formula 1 since 2011..
Hamilton didn’t even set time in P3, instead doing three turns and bail in session.
On his last round late in the session, Hamilton said on Team Radio: « There’s no control here – it’s shocking. ».
It didn’t go far like Daniel Kviat of AlphaTauri did, who added, « I would have had a bigger grip on the ice. ».
Things didn’t improve in the qualifiers with Max Verstappen out on the first lap of the session while on the midfielders.
Fans were enjoying the wild session but the FIA had no choice but to call for an early stop.
The bikers are back but the first quarter pauses again when Haas’s Broman Grogan ends up in the gravel trap, before Nicholas Latifi of Williams finishes in the gravel at the end of the session with a yellow flag.
Each driver sees a lap after Al Latif is off the track under investigation by the hosts after the qualifying campaign.
But Haas’s Kevin Magnussen, who knocked out 16th because he backed off when the flag came out after a cute bug, was pissed off that the judges didn’t make an immediate decision.
He said: « Obviously my bosom will stand because I retracted – no one else did. ». « I backed off, the path was better, you’d get better. There was a double yellow flag, and the rules say you must abort the roll – no one did. Then they don’t look at her at the session so now she’s out, I’m so disturbed by that.
« If this is normal, I cannot justify the reversal. I’d rather get over it and get the penalty kick after that so it’s dangerous.
Oddly enough, the Q2 was allowed to continue – despite Latie’s car still being pushed off the track.
« Why did they start the session? » asked Kimi Raikkonen of AlfaRomeo. Q2 started with his engineer saying « I have no idea ».
Formula One driver Marcus Erickson also criticized the decision, tweeting: “Please @ F1, how do you start the session with the safety truck on the right track!?!? Didn’t we learn from the past? I can’t believe it..
But as the rain faded, drivers were able to stay on the track during the second and third quarters, even though they were still slipping down the track.
Incredibly, Racing Point’s gamble of using intermediate tires paid off with Perez setting for speed before Stroll took off from the stunning center stage – a first in his career.
“I was shocked. We didn’t look very competitive in the final drills, but I’m so happy right now, I put that lap together at the end, and only had one lap to do at the two points, ».
« I had confidence in the car and I just drew pretty much every angle, put it together in a great way and that’s a great way to bounce back after a few tough weeks. Putting it first is a special moment for me, and one of the biggest moments of my career.
The mainstays to hike for it. It faced a lot of criticism lately and it succumbed to a rough patch but it tamed conditions well. Fair play for boy 👏 # F1 #TurkishGP
