It was his 12th podium in 16 races this season and gives him the edge as F1 heads Stateside for the next race in Austin. He avoids a second winless season in his Mercedes career (he failed to reach the top step in 2018) while his chunk of points for victory and the fastest lap helped minimise the damage to Red Bull in the constructors’ championship fight.Īnd he did so on a circuit where Mercedes had comfortably the better package, as highlighted by Bottas’ brilliant form. READ MORE: Bottas relieved to win with ‘one of the best races I’ve ever had’ after dominant display in Turkey This weekend he inherited pole courtesy of Lewis Hamilton’s engine penalty, but aside from a very small wiggle which he easily caught, the Finn didn’t put a foot wrong. It came at a track where last time there, he spun a staggering five times before limping across the line 14th. In Turkey, we caught a glimpse of why Mercedes had to think so long and hard about whether to keep Valtteri Bottas for next season, as the Finn took a commanding victory – his first in more than a year and the 10th of his career. We’ve picked out our six winners and five losers from a fascinating race at Istanbul Park.

Album DescriptionMax Verstappen wrestled back control in his private fight with Lewis Hamilton for the 2021 title with second in the Turkish Grand Prix, as Valtteri Bottas ended his year-long victory drought.

Like its advance singles, the rest of Beauty Behind the Madness is R&B and pop as drug-den paella: chemical and sexual abasement, self-loathing, and self-absorbed belligerence over narcotized sludge and less expected moves that peak with the wholly sweet 'As You Are' and crest with a big-band diversion on 'Losers.' Collaborations with Kanye West, Ed Sheeran, and Lana Del Rey add star power the last of that pack contributes to a moment where Tesfaye turns another corner by acknowledging a dead end through the fog, 'addicted to a life that's so empty and so cold.' The commercial strides are obvious. Tesfaye skillfully delivered his biggest hooks as he sang about dependency in that part-anguished, part-euphoric fashion derived from Michael Jackson. An obvious pop move, it worked - it went to number one in the U.S. That cut a path for 'The Hills,' in which Tesfaye alleviated his 'day one' base with a typically degenerate slow jam, co-produced by Illangelo, that affirmed 'When I'm fucked up, that's the real me' while taking the toxic narrative a step further with lines like 'Drugs started feelin' like it's decaf.' And then 'Can't Feel My Face,' a sleek slice of retro-modern disco-funk produced by Max Martin and Ali Payami, landed in June 2015. 'Earned It,' a ballad recorded for the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack, showed that he could adapt to a traditional pop backdrop. It put Tesfaye in the Top Ten for the first time and began a streak of similarly effective singles that preceded - and are included on - Beauty Behind the Madness. 'Love Me Harder,' a duet with labelmate Ariana Grande released in 2014, proved to be a masterstroke. His eager congregation pushed Kiss Land, the proper debut, to number two in the U.S., yet none of its singles, not even the one that featured Drake, reached the Hot 100. For a period after that, it seemed like the singer had peaked just short of pop-star status.

All bets regarding Abel Tesfaye's career arc were off once Trilogy, material previously released at no (financial) cost to the listener, went platinum.
