Mercedes is hoping to use Formula One's plans to level the playing field among teams in the coming years as motivation to continue its period of domination into the next decade.
In an unprecedented run of success, Mercedes has won the last seven drivers' and constructors' titles and is the favourite to win again in 2021 and extend the run to an eighth.
However, in an attempt to bring about more unpredictability in the sport and level the playing field, F1 will introduce a budget cap and new aerodynamic testing restrictions next year as well as a completely new set of technical regulations for 2022.
