- Max Verstappen was fastest in both Friday practice sessions for Turkish GP
- However all drivers appeared to struggle with slippery track throughout day
- Mercedes star Lewis Hamilton was among those bemoaning lack of grip

Lewis Hamilton finished fourth in practice ahead of his bid to win a record-equalling world championship at Sunday’s Turkish Grand Prix.
Hamilton can emulate Michael Schumacher by securing his seventh title if he takes the chequered flag for a 10th time this season in Istanbul on Sunday.
But the Mercedes star, only 15th in the opening running here, ended the first day on Formula One’s return to Turkey 0.850 seconds behind pacesetter Max Verstappen.
Red Bull’s Verstappen completed a practice double on Friday to suggest he could deny Hamilton the chance to take the championship in style.
Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc was second ahead of Valtteri Bottas. The Finnish driver, 85 points adrift in the standings, is the only man who can stop Hamilton from winning the title.
Hamilton will be crowned champion if he finishes Sunday’s race ahead of Bottas with three races still go in including a double in Bahrain and in Abu Dhabi
