It's almost the same structure he had at Redbull...the only 2 people missing would be Marko and Horner...
Would there be a clash of the 'Dads'...Lawrence and Jos? But if Max moves to AMR he would definitely have no1 status.
It would be foolish to expect a billionaire to be bullied by a nobody like Jos. I am sure they would be shopping around with the likes of Charles, Lando and George, while negotiating with Max.
But who would partner max if he did move? To keep stroll in the seat would be a mistake
For Lawrence it is a question of, if the car is a rocket do you keep stroll and risk not capitalizing or do you hire a champion driver and make this ten year venture a success?

Lawrence should just buy a WEC or GT Team for lance and leave f1 be

I wonder if he fancies managing a Formula E team?

Don't Aston Martin already have a LM entry lined up?

I think Lance is an average F1 driver, but could definitely win races and championships in another series.
If I come across as blunt, I apologise, it's my ASD. Sometimes, like an F1 car aqua-planing, it gets out of my control.

The plan is to run Liam Lawson in the VCARB against Yuki for the remaining races, to evaluate if he can replace Perez in the RedBull for 2025.

If he crushes Yuki then he's the guy and he switches with Perez. If he doesn't then he stays VCARB for 2025 and Perez stays at RedBull.

It's not surprising. Merc probably plan for Max in '26, whilst Red Bull picking up Russell in place of him makes sense. They would need a #1 and most of them if not all are tied up for '25 and '26 atp.

The max-russell driver swap is clear

Better plan is to let go both Perez and Daniel. Put Yuki in Red Bull and have Liam Lawson and Colapinto or Hadjar in VCARB for 2025.

There's probably a lot of serviceable talent sitting on the sidelines but there's only 20 seats. That's just how it goes. This is true in many sports.

How long do we think Checo holds on to his seat given last week seems to have been a flash in the pan....??
