Another 7 years of Mercedes dominance ?

Sounds like it will happen

I thought the Red Bull run was getting tiresome towards the end, but Mercedes have taken it to the extreme.

As others have mentioned it's unlikely the regulation changes will affect Merc's winning. Possible but unlikely

Not much point in holding a constructors championship each year if the best team aren't going to win. I see it as very much for the other teams to learn from how Merc drive success and get up to date, and challenge them in those areas.

Merc will win so long as the others continue to lose.

Ofcourse.
Although the regulation change to hybrid virtually killed Red Bull's winning ability, and other teams, due to the 6 year headstart on hybrid development by Mercedes.
Or was it 7 years pre-development ?
Someone here will know more than me.

Whatever the full extent of the headstart was, we're now at a point of convergence (approx) in terms of power units. Yet the Mercedes overall solution to F1 is still ahead - It seems to be their attitude and team philosophy that bleeds in to and enhances every aspect of their performance.

No disputing Mercedes excellence and dominance.
But Moto GP is so much more a sport - I think they've so far had 8 different winners in 2020 !

If Marc Marques wasn't injured though it would have been another year of No. 93 dominance.

Probably right, and it's a strong reminder that MGP remains properly dangerous.

Absolutely. MotoGP is fantastic to watch but this made my stomach turn earlier this year. A very lucky Vinales and Rossi!!
