F1: Turkish GP Results

O.k., this is getting ridiculous—unless you happen to be a Jenson Button fan. He's won six of the seven Formula 1 races this year and the championship is nearly a foregone conclusion. And this is coming from a driver who couldn't buy a top-five last year with a best of sixth in Spain and only a handful of top-10s. That just goes to show you how much difference strong equipment makes.

The biggest story was the failure to finish by Rubens Barrichello. He has been the wingman of Button all year and has also swept the top five with three runner-up finishes to this credit. He spun after making contact with Heikki Kovalainen and damaged his nose with contact from Adrian Sutil.

Red Bull teammates Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel finished second and third, which puts tem in a position to pounce in the unlikely event that Button stumbles.
