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.

This is probably the correct prediction. Mercedes will (hopefully) get closer, especially in in the second half of the season.

It’s more of a battle between Mercedes and Aston Martin for 2nd until 2026.

Ferrari will keep Ferrari’ing so keep the popcorn close.

Poor Charles. If only he had a team that didn't fail him regularly...

I agree, it really feels like a masochist situation. I hope the team sorts their problems out (looking at you Xavi) or he gets a chance at a different top team.

I feel the same way about Lando Norris. He’s a great driver but constantly given a subpar car.

I too was tricked by a German wearing red years ago and all I have to show for it is pain.

Yep. Hard to say "poor guy" to someone making millions to live the dream, but it's a bummer we don't get to see their true potential. Part of me wishes they'd have a few races where everyone gets to drive the same top car, lolol
