It was on the 40th lap on the Istanbul Park track that the 2010 Turkish Grand Prix changed hands for the team. Red Bull. Starting in pole position and leader of the race, Mark Webber will see him arrive on his left Sebastian Vettel who will attempt an overtaking maneuver on the Australian. Disobeying the team's instructions, which were to take care of the cars, the German will fall back on his teammate who does not change his trajectory. The two cars collide and this will cause Vettel to retire. Behind, Mark Webber managed to reach the pit lane and finished in third place. This year, the Turkish Grand Prix was won by Lewis Hamilton, ahead of his teammate Jenson Button which allowed McLaren to achieve the double.
