    It seems that quite a few people are betting on Lewis backing off a bit now he's tied up the title.
    I know that he has in the past but I don't think that he will this year. His record breaking may
    well have energised him to reach new heights.

    The clincher for me is Ferrari's qualifying results here this year compared to the last couple of
    years. It's now blatantly obvious that they've been cheating to get a lot more power out of their
    PU year-on-year.

    It's also confirmed for me that the FIA don't look too hard at what Ferrari are doing and/or are
    happy to let them get away with things unless other teams are able to work out exactly what it is
    they're doing and so can protest. They can't protest without details and being very close to the
    mark. Remember the twin battery / control electronics a couple of years ago? Just the little that
    filters out into the public eye shows a consistent pattern of cheating.

    It's almost worth the rest of the paddock's while to start a mutual fund to poach one Ferrari
    engineer a year with those teams taking it in turns to employ said engineer. Even if they get
    nothing to help themselves from the deal at least they'll likely get info on what the cheats have
    been up to this time and have a better chance of stopping the rort.

    If Ferrari spent as much time working within the rules as they do trying to break them they'd do a
    lot better. It's almost as if they've accepted that they're has-beens incapable of winning honestly
    so instead of actually trying they try to come up with sneakier way's of fooling the other teams
    that they're legitimate. (They don't have to convince the FIA of course....)
