Starting in 2005, the Turkish Grand Prix was a favorable destination for drivers. However, due to a difference of opinion as far as annual costs are concerned, it was called off from 2012.

Formula 1 has also updated the race calendar for 2020. The Turkish Grand Prix is scheduled to take place on November 13. The main race day would be on November 15. F1 would then make two trips to Bahrain. The last race would be conducted in Abu Dhabi on December 13.

Scuderia Ferrari absolutely dominated the Turkish Grand Prix while it was on the Formula 1 calendar for 6 years. The 2011 race saw Sebastian Vettel triumph over everyone. However, things have changed as Mercedes have settled in as the dominating force in the paddock.

The Brackley-based outfit took this opportunity to remind fans of how the Silver Arrows have changed the game for good.
