Felipe Massa’s 5 Greatest Ferrari Moments

4 €“ Turkey 2006 - That First Victory

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FHMLmJm4Ng Against the might of teammate Schumacher and Fernando Alonso, then racing for Renault, Felipe Massa scored his first victory in Istanbul 2006, showing fantastic pace to head the race following a messy Grand Prix. Pitting under the safety car helped Massa into the lead and compromised Schumacher, but regardless of that Felipe drove stunningly to stay ahead of Alonso and cruise to victory by over five seconds as Schumacher doggedly hunted down Alonso in the final laps. Following his first pole position, heading a Ferrari one-two, the race win was no less than he deserved and marked what would be the start of three fantastic victories in Turkey, as he flew to the top step of the podium in 2007 and 2008. Felipe Massa won the Turkish Grand Prix more than any other driver with his three victories, before it was dropped from the calendar for the 2012 season.
