* Lap 1: Pole-sitter Kimi Räikkönen is beaten away by Giancarlo Fisichella at the start, with world championship leader Fernando Alonso in close attendance. The Finn retakes the lead approaching Turn 12, after Fisichella runs fractionally wide, and the three are 0.8s apart at the end of the lap. Juan Pablo Montoya settles into fourth, ahead of Jarno Trulli, Nick Heidfeld, Christian Klien (up from 10th), David Coulthard (up from 12th), Mark Webber, Rubens Barrichello, Michael Schumacher (who started last after failing to register a qualifying time and then having a fresh V10 fitted for the race), Jenson Button, Tiago Monteiro, Narain Karthikeyan (two engine changes before qualifying), Christijan Albers, Jacques Villeneuve, Robert Doornbos, Ralf Schumacher (forced off at the first corner when Felipe Massa runs wide), Takuma Sato (condemned to the back of the grid for impeding Webber during qualifying, he makes a quick pit stop at the end of the formation lap) and Massa, who pits for a fresh front wing.
* Lap 2: Alonso passes Fisichella, who offers no defence. Räikkönen leads by 1.4s. Sato vaults Ralf Schumacher.
* Lap 3: Alonso cuts his deficit to 1.0s. Button passes Michael Schumacher for 11th.
* Lap 4: Button bags another Ferrari to move up to ninth.
* Lap 5: Alonso laps in 1m 27.105s. Heidfeld pits with a deflated right rear.
* Lap 7: Webber passes Klien for sixth. Sato takes 13th from Karthikeyan.
* Lap 8: Fisichella laps in 1m 26.579s.
* Lap 9: Button passes Coulthard for seventh. Webber chalks up Williams-BMW’s third right-rear deflation of the weekend and crawls to the pits to have it replaced.
* Lap 10: Button zaps Klien. Sato passes Monteiro for 11th.
* Lap 11: Räikkönen laps in 1m 26.102s.
* Lap 12: Räikkönen ups the ante again: 1m 26.013s. Alonso and Heidfeld make scheduled stops.
* Lap 14: Michael Schumacher and the lapped Webber tangle at Turn 12. Both pit. Fisichella and Monteiro come in for more conventional reasons.
* Lap 15: Doornbos pits.
* Lap 16: Räikkönen leads Montoya by 9.2s. Albers refuels. Michael Schumacher pulls into his garage. He will rejoin on lap 34.
* Lap 17: The leader posts a 1m 25.520s. Karthikeyan and Albers pit.
* Lap 18: Montoya: 1m 25.420s. Trulli and Ralf S pit.
* Lap 20: Yet to stop, Button passes Alonso for third on the road.
* Lap 21: Räikkönen laps in 1m 25.073s. Montoya pits but stalls briefly before rejoining. Button refuels, too. Webber suffers another flat right rear and retires.
* Lap 22: Räikkönen peels in.
* Lap 23: Räikkönen leads Montoya by 13.6s, with Alonso third. Klien and Villeneuve pit.
* Lap 24: Coulthard and Barrichello refuel.
* Lap 28: Albers makes a lengthy pit stop that costs a couple of laps.
* Lap 29: Sato is the last driver to refuel. Massa retires to the pits in a cloud of smoke. Heidfeld spins at Turn 8 – yet another right rear goes pop – and finally calls it a day.
* Lap 30: Räikkönen leads Montoya, Alonso, Fisichella, Trulli, Button, Coulthard, Klien, Barrichello, Sato, Villeneuve, Ralf Schumacher, Karthikeyan (who pits), Doornbos, Monteiro and Albers.
* Lap 34: Alonso makes his second stop.
* Lap 35: Fisichella follows suit.
* Lap 38: Montoya laps in 1m 24.997s…
* Lap 39: …and 1m 24.770s. His team-mate leads by 7.8s.
* Lap 40: Doornbos and Monteiro touch at the first corner while squabbling over 13th. Neither is seriously delayed.
* Lap 41: Montoya pits.
* Lap 43: Trulli refuels.
* Lap 44: Ditto Klien.
* Lap 45: Leading by more than half a minute, Räikkönen peels in. Sixth-placed Coulthard also stops.
* Lap 46: Barrichello pits.
* Lap 47: Button comes in.
* Lap 48: The field settles down in the order Räikkönen, Montoya, Alonso, Fisichella, Button, Trulli, Coulthard and Klien still on the lead lap, then Sato, Barrichello, Villeneuve, Ralf Schumacher, Doornbos, Karthikeyan, Monteiro and Albers. Michael Schumacher is still plugging around the best part of 20 laps off the pace, ostensibly in a bid to gain a more advantageous qualifying slot in Italy. He finally gives up when the leaders are on their 52nd lap. Albers is pushed into the pits and retires.
* Lap 53: Almost everyone is evenly spread out, although Button is 3.0s from Fisichella and Ralf S is only 0.5s behind Villeneuve.
* Lap 54: Sato unlaps himself. Räikkönen appears to be cruising to the flag.
* Lap 55: Montoya spins at Turn 12 – possibly with a nudge from the lapped Monteiro, who locks up just behind. The Colombian rejoins just ahead of Alonso.
* Lap 56: Montoya runs wide at Turn 8 and Alonso takes second.
* Lap 58: Räikkönen scores his second straight win – and the seventh of his career. He becomes the first man to win an F1 race in Turkey. Championship leader Alonso is second, 18.6s adrift, with Montoya, Fisichella, Button, Trulli, Coulthard, Klien, Sato, Barrichello, Villeneuve, Ralf Schumacher, Doornbos, Karthikeyan and Monteiro completing the list of finishers.
