How many years do you think we will see? Will they dominate the entire era, similar to Mercedes did prior? Or will other teams catch up? If so, who? Curious to see how y'all think this plays out.

I personally think they are relatively untouchable until 2025. Mercedes may get closest, but RB is so far ahead that I don't see them getting legitimately challenged for quite some time.

I think that if Adrian Newey decides to reduce his level of involvement (as he did when he was working on the America's Cup and the Aston Martin Valkyrie), then we might see Mercedes regain dominance.

Agreed. I don't think there is anyone who can beat Newey&Co currently in terms of aero. You can only win if you have a much more powerful engine

Basically, RB's to lose, haha. But I agree. I think we all get lucky if dominance ends prior to '26.

I don't think that's gooing to be anytime soon!
