In the the Red Bull press release confirming new sponsor Gate.io, the team specifically highlighted the brand would be represented on Max Verstappen’s helmet, but why was there no mention of Liam Lawson?
Following Bybit’s departure at the end of the last season, Red Bull has now filled the sponsorship gap with the arrival of Gate.io. The cryptocurrency exchange’s branding will be prominently featured on the team’s cars, the suits of all team members, and Max Verstappen’s helmet, excluding Liam Lawson’s. This decision was made as Verstappen’s new teammate was not yet clear when the deal with Gate.io was signed, and Red Bull did not have a blank helmet to offer for the new sponsor. If Gate.io wishes to appear on Lawson’s helmet in the future, an additional deal will likely be needed.
