Amended Formula One regulations for 2017 raise one obvious question: will Mercedes-AMG continue to dominate both the drivers’ and constructors’ championships?

A restyled front bumper, new wheel designs and tinted taillight clusters identify the updated Škoda Rapid and Rapid Spaceback. However, the main change is less visible, because it concerns the engine line-up.
