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 don't see anyone getting close to them probably until 2026, when the engine regulation change comes in. Hope I'm wrong tbh, but you have to hand it to them they've done the best job with the rule changes.

@kiithwarrior @hypnotoad__ has this always been the case in Formula 1? There has always been, for the most part, a dominant team and driver for as long as I can remember.

2006 - 2010 were competitive. 2012 was wild as well.
