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.

ermm but the grid can be manipulated by increasing the fuel load during practice to hide the extra speed. Then of course the extra fuel comes in handy at the start of the race.
However im not saying anyone is cheating. At the end of the day Ferarri have the only decent driver, and have bought the rest of the top guys from other teams over a period of time and assembled what has to be considered about the best team possible.
Its the same as any sport if you pay enough you will get the top people and win the top prizes. Therefore money = trophies
