McLaren Mercedes dominated Turkish Grand Prix at Istanbul Park with a 1-2 win of Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button respectively. However, McLaren's drivers took full advantage of a collision between the leading Red Bulls of Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel. Mark Webber recovered from the collision to take 3rd, but Sebastien Vettel retired from the race. The 2010 Turkish Grand Prix was marked by these 4 dominant cars and their team-mate duels at turn 12. 
The race started ideal for the Redbull team. Pole sitter Webber was leading the race over Hamilton who tried to threat his lead in the first part of the race taking advatnage of his F-Duct system, soft tyres and full fuel loads. However after the necessary pitstop, Hamilton lost his position due to a tyre change delay and the RedBull cars were leading the race having the 2 McLaren cars in their behind in a RedBull-McLaren duel.
As rain never emerged in the circuit, the RedBull team was ready to celebrate another 1-2 after Monaco and Webber his 3rd consecutive win. Yet in lap 40 Webber lost his leading pace and Vettel tried to overtake him on the run down to Turn 12.
Vettel, who had just inched the lead, tried prematurely to run the ideal breaking line but Webber never gave up to hold his line against his quicker teammate. The resulting contact caused Vettel to retire sustaining heavy damage but Webber after a slid off course continued with only a damaged noce that replaced after a pitstop.
The dueling collision allowed incoming McLaren cars to take the lead of the race as Hamilton was leading his teammate Jenson Button close behind. Although both of them dueled in a repetitive manner at the same turn 12, Hamilton retained his lead after McLaren's team orders to slow their pace due to "saving fuel issues".
After 7 races on the 2010 F1 season, Hamilton succeeded his first 2010 victory closing the gap of the championship leader Mark Webber.
"It was double trouble trying to get past both of them,"
Mercedes teammates had no actual duel, Michael Schumacher finished 4rth and Nico Rosberg completed the top five.
Webber blamed 22nd-place finishing Vettel for the incident that took both drivers out of contention for the voctory and should cause internal issues in the RedBull team.
"It looked like he turned pretty quick right and then we made contact. Neither one of us wanted to make contact with each other, but it can happen sometimes... It was an intense few meters on the track between both of us.
Team manager Cristian Horner refused to take apportion blame for the collision between Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel on either of his drivers, but there was no disguising his frustration with the incident which cost his team a likely second successive 1-2 at the Turkish Grand Prix and a clear lead in 2 championship standings.
"From a team perspective I'm really disappointed because the team had done everything right. We'd outstrategied the McLarens, who were strong today to see both cars touch each other was really disappointing.
I've spoken to Sebastian, he got a run and they should never had been where they were. It's really disappointing for the team. It's cost them a lot of points. The priority is to beat the other teams and today we handed 43 points on a plate to McLaren. The team really deserved to win this race. We need to sit down, go through it and come back stronger at the next event."
Vetter insists that Webber should take the clear blame for the collision.
"Obviously, I think if you look at the pictures it was clear I had the inside. I went on the inside, I was ahead and just going down to focus on the braking point and honestly, you can see we touched and he touched my right rear wheel and I went off... There is no fight. This is something that happens. We do not need it but there is nothing we can do now. Obviously I am not very happy, I was inside focusing on the braking point, we touched and that was it. ...I was a bit quicker than Mark, I was getting closer and I knew I could maybe get him on the back straight. It was close, I passed him on the left and that was the story."
It is believed that the collision might affect negotiations for the renewal of Webber's contract in the team. After the race Vettel went to the pitwall of his team, and the whole crew including Horner, Newey and the rest engineers tried to support him for the disappointing outcome. Moreover, during the podium ceremony only 2 of RedBull engineers were present to celebrate Webber's 3rd position while the rest team remained in the paddock area
