not many teams have continued success over regulation changes in the sport, very few actually, so what Mercedes achieved between the 2016 to 2017 changes was outstanding, if they do it again from the 2018 to 2019 changes it'll be phenomenal.
Broadly agree with all of that, but if there's one team who have the resources and personnel to pull it off it is Mercedes. The changes aren't really that major and other teams were catching (caught and passed even) them up anyway due to years of regulation stability.
I'd argue a reg shakeup could actually work in their favour.The Red Bull glory run was (IMO) totally down to one man's genius. The Mercedes glory run has been because they are the strongest all round team. I'm not betting against them continuing the run of form.
