Agreed. With stable regulations heading into next year, a lot of the development that Merc do on the 2019 car will be very beneficial for the W11.
Ferrari are in a very different situation, however.
I think people mean start shifting more towards 2021 when you still have an advantage for 2019, which is very likely to carry over into 2020 as well.
That makes a bit more sense though I think they already have started work on the 2021 car at least partially because the regs haven't been finalized have they?
They've stated in the past that their current cars are developed alongside with the next year's contender. I don't see any reason why they'd change that now given their success. Whatever learnings they have gather from the W10 will help the W11.
As for 2021, they've probably already laid the groundwork for that car. Development for the cars start years before the actual season so they're probably already testing basic concepts to set their philosophy on the upcoming rules change.
