Previous races:
2010 - Lewis Hamilton (McLaren)
Hamilton led a McLaren one-two after the Red Bulls collided 18 laps from the finish while fighting for first place. Webber, who had started on pole, finished third while Vettel retired. The McLaren drivers also flirted with disaster, banging wheels in their own battle for the lead.
-
2009 - Jenson Button (Brawn)
Button celebrated his sixth win in seven races and, ultimately, his last victory with Brawn. Afterwards, he hailed his 'monster' of a car. Vettel started on pole, but lost out to Button at turn 10 on the opening lap and then made three stops to Webber's two. Only 36,000 tickets were sold for the weekend.
-
2008 - Felipe Massa (Ferrari)
Massa won from pole for the third year in a row, with McLaren's Hamilton slowing because of concerns about wear of his front tyre. Honda's Brazilian Rubens Barrichello made a record 257th race start.
-
2007 - Massa, Ferrari
Massa won from pole position again. Kimi Raikkonen was runner-up in Ferrari's second one-two of the season.
-
2006 - Massa, Ferrari
Massa followed up his first Formula One pole position with his first grand prix victory. Renault's Fernando Alonso beat Ferrari's Michael Schumacher to second place by barely half a car's length after a nose-to-tail duel over the closing laps.

CIRCUIT DETAILS
The undulating anti-clockwise layout has been likened to Spa in Belgium. It has 14 turns, six of them right-handers, and four straights. About 69 percent of each lap is spent at full throttle with about 46 gear changes per lap.
The left-handed triple apex turn eight is a real test, taken at around 250kph and generating some of the highest G-forces of any circuit. The Hermann Tilke-designed circuit is on the Asian side of Istanbul.
