Which was missing in 2024. Bremont's financial situation was perilous (and still is). Bremont sponsorship was visible on the front wing endplates in 2023 but missing in 2024.

Just for fun I asked this question on ChatGPT...

"It's hard to predict exactly how quickly Liam Lawson will be "destroyed" or replaced by someone else in Formula 1, as it depends on various factors, including his performance, team strategy, and the broader dynamics within the sport.

Liam Lawson has shown great potential when given opportunities, particularly in substitute roles. However, Max Verstappen is a dominant force in F1, and unless Lawson can consistently perform at a high level, the team's decision-makers may choose to replace him with another driver, especially given the competitiveness of F1.

If Lawson doesn't secure a full-time seat or doesn't perform consistently at the level expected by his team, it is possible that he could be replaced by another promising driver in the future. However, this timeline is contingent on various unpredictable factors within the sport, such as contractual situations and driver market dynamics."

^^^ yes, a weak answer from AI I thought! There's been better informed comment and analysis from all who've posted in this thread I feel.

I chuckled trying Gemini, which clearly has zero specialist F1 knowledge yet has 2021 as Lewis :D
Liam Lawson has been confirmed as a full-time driver for Red Bull Racing in the 2025 F1 season, partnering with Max Verstappen. While it's expected Verstappen will outperform him, the term "destroyed" is harsh and premature.
Lawson has shown promising signs in his junior career and limited F1 experience. He's a Red Bull Junior Team member and impressed during his substitute appearances for AlphaTauri in 2023 and 2024.
Predicting his performance relative to Verstappen is challenging. Verstappen is a two-time world champion and one of the fastest drivers on the grid. Lawson is a young driver with much to learn.
However, Red Bull has a history of promoting talented drivers and giving them opportunities. Lawson will have the benefit of driving a competitive car and learning from one of the best drivers in the sport.
It's premature to write off Lawson before the season even begins. He deserves a fair chance to prove himself.
Therefore, it's highly unlikely that Lawson will be quickly "destroyed" by Verstappen and replaced. Red Bull is likely to give him time to develop and adapt to the demands of driving for a top team.
The 2025 F1 season will be an exciting one to watch, and it will be interesting to see how Lawson performs alongside Verstappen.

I think the more interesting question will be how many races into the season will it be before MV is announced as a Mercedes driver for 2026?

@timepieces_and_bags Interesting thought.
I'm sure Toto has his reasons for his support of Antonelli, but he's not shown me he is the Wunderkind. A straight swap of Lewis and Carlos seemed too obvious for words really.

Well I find Lewis Hamilton's outfits frankly quite ridiculous* but the anticipation for the season has ramped up for me today seeing the pictures of his first day at Ferrari (mostly that F40 probably).

* And on that note, I'm not the biggest MV fan, but I respect that he just turns up in his standard Red Bull outfit day-in-day-out and has worn the same tux about four times in a row to the end of season awards dinner.
