Ferrari's Felipe Massa won the Turkish Grand Prix for the second year in a row in Istanbul on Sunday while a late puncture slashed Lewis Hamilton's championship lead to five points.
Hamilton finished fifth, two places behind his McLaren team mate and closest rival Fernando Alonso after the 43rd lap blowout robbed him of a safe third.
The 22-year-old British rookie now has 84 points to double world champion Alonso's 79.
Brazilian Massa moved up to third overall on 69 points with Ferrari team mate Kimi Raikkonen , runner-up on Sunday, a point further back.
Massa led from pole position, just as he had last year, to beat Raikkonen by 2.2 seconds and secure Ferrari's second one-two of the season with the Italian team's home race at Monza next on the calendar
It was his third victory in 12 races.
