Take a step back in time to January 2024 and tell yourself that in a year's time you'll know that Lewis Hamilton has moved from Mercedes to Ferrari, Carlos Sainz is at Williams, Liam Lawson has landed a Red Bull seat, and a fellow called Franco Colapinto (did you even hear of him back then?) is in line for one of the Alpine seats after having competed in nine grands prix at the end of last season.
What a difference a year makes.
