"I always feel very comfortable and very strong at that circuit, and it is a track where I can be one of the quickest all the time, but I have also won twice in Bahrain, I won in Barcelona and Brazil and I want to win at other tracks as well.
"For sure, I had a great car last weekend and I think the team did a great job and so did I. It's a very special place to be and to keep winning at.
"Apart from my wife, I also had my father and mother with me in Istanbul, which was great, because I take a lot of strength from them; of course it was fantastic to have them with me to celebrate the victory.
"After the win, I stayed in Istanbul, going to a nice nightclub in the city. It was a good, fun night. I like Istanbul and it was especially nice to be out enjoying myself with Turkish people, having won the Turkish Grand Prix three times."
The Turkish weekend also marked a particularly memorable occasion for Massa's countryman
Rubens Barrichello, who became the most experienced driver in
F1 history by overtaking Riccardo Patrese's long-standing tally of 256 starts in the top flight. The 27-year-old admitted that he doubted he would ever be a contender to steal that mantle.
"Do I want to beat that record?" he asked himself. "It seems like a big challenge. It's true that I love racing, and as long as that is the case I will continue to do it and it won't matter if I am 27 or 37. As long as I am competitive as a driver, I will race. If I'm not then I will stop, because I am not in this sport just to be in
Formula 1 – I am here because I want to win.
"As long as I feel physically fit and competitive, and as long as a team gives me the opportunity then I will race, but if I have any doubts, I will stop and I don't really think I will keep going long enough to beat that record. Also, these days there are so many very young drivers in F1 that I think it would be quite easy for some of those who have come into the sport in the last couple of years to reach this total without even being very old."
