Due to the lack of grip, we have not yet been able to see the real speed of most drivers on Friday, which means that we can prepare for an interesting qualifying session.

Problems on Friday
Formula 1 and the organisers worked hard overnight to increase the grip levels. For example, they have used streetcars to drive laps at
Istanbul Park, so that the drivers should have fewer problems with the slipperiness on Saturday.
Red Bull Racing seemed to have the most control in the slippery conditions. Both
Max Verstappen and
Alexander Albon did well on Friday in Turkey. At the end of Friday, the grip levels started to come back somewhat.
