World champion Kimi Raikkonen believes Ferrari will respond to the challenges of their rivals and dominate in Turkey this weekend.
Raikkonen knows McLaren and Renault will mount stronger bids in Istanbul but is convinced he and Ferrari will continue to put the heat on their competitors.
"I bet all the top teams have done their homework very carefully on how to beat us in Turkey,'' he said.
"But there is no reason to worry about that because I believe Ferrari will go fast there too.
"If you look at the circuits we've raced at this season, Istanbul is demanding in a similar way to Malaysia and Bahrain.
"Well, Ferrari won both of those, and that gives us a good feeling that we should again be very competitive.''
Raikkonen holds a nine-point cushion over McLaren's Lewis Hamilton going into the season's fifth GP.
"Things can change very quickly, so the whole team needs to keep pushing 100 per cent to stay ahead of our competitors,'' insisted the 28-year-old.
"But I won't change anything in my approach. It's far too early in the season to think about anything other than taking maximum points at every grand prix."
