Re: Formula One Motor Racing

F1 is a big money business with the ten teams spending over £1.3 billion a season. The teams watch each other like hawks trying to find that extra bit that could give them an advantage including putting spies in other teams camps. It would take tremendous effort to cheat and avoid being found out by the other teams and official scrutineers. If there was any cheating going on there would be a queue of whistle blowers waiting to pick up the thousands or millions that they would get by revealing all.

It is obvious to anyone that there are five main areas that determine who wins. Technical research, strategy planning, engineering reliability, driver ability and teamwork. Ayone who suggests that there is a sixth area, cheating, is talking out of the back of their head. You have only to look at the qualifying lap times of the top teams to realise that there is only a fraction of a second between the fastest which, to me based on this years race outcomes, suggest that Ferrari have the top driver and the best strategists.
