F1 2018

It was however technically intriguing how Ferrari have contrived to inject so much more "go" into their car?

They did indeed seem to have found extra h.p. from somewhere 

With the start of the new hybrid engines Mercedes were at. least 1.5 to 2 seconds ahead of all the other teams.  In the last 4 years the other teams have gradually been catching up.  RBR has by far the best chassis and aero package but probably the least powerful engine and they are about 3 tenths behind.  Ferrari have now got the horsepower but have probably got better areo. If people think Ferrari are cheating why not come out and say.

Ross Brawn didn’t cheat with the double diffuser his team just came up with a different solution.  The FIA eventually banned it as not being in the spirit of the regulations which is not cheating. Innovation has always happened in F1 and long may that continue.

I didn't know Ferrari had been accused of cheating? Seems they spent the summer break in the garage rather than on the beaches! Well done to them. Let's see how long before the others catch up (well, Mercedes at least)

F1 developing into a two-horse race again and frankly it's boring. The only real excitement has been on the odd occasion RBR has managed to get involved on the podium. If they ditch the British & German GP's I shall not bother taking any further interest, especially if they keep the same funding system in place.

Why did Mercedes protest earlier in the year about twin batteries and in Spa Hamilton referred to some trick things on the Ferrari 

I don't know One, perhaps it was sour grapes on Hamilton's part? He's very prone to whinging as we all know. Rattles, throw and pram come to mind?!

I was expecting a boring race dominated by the faster Ferrari's. What a surprise.

Well done Lewis, keep those red devils in their place and your foot on Sebastian’s neck.

Interesting to hear Nico Rosberg's take on the first lap 'racing incident' between Hamilton and Vettel (some might argue he was biased towards Mercedes?) and I have to agree-Lewis did leave enough room. Raikkonen was unlucky with his tyres and yet again, Max showed his immaturity. Great drive by Vettel to finish fourth, but his mistakes are proving costly 

Well summed up Jon although I haven’t seen it yet.  Think Farerri need to consider running order in qualifying. I’m pretty sure if Vettel had been on pole he would have scampered away.
