    Why aren't they trying to get Monster Energy to back them? They already work together in RX and previously in the WRC plus Monster is sponsoring V8SC and Nascar Ford teams. Also, I am fairly sure Monster higher ups will happily rub their hands in the prospect of prying a top athlete away from Red Bull.

    Ogier's Red Bull sponsorship is independent of Ford. Monster would have throw a lot of money at both driver and team.
    Is Monster very big in Europe?

    I don't know if Monster wants to promote himself in a sport promoted by Redbull.

    They are expanding. From a motorsport perspective they have the Mercedes F1 team and the Yamaha MotoGP one. Lewis Hamilton and Valentino Rossi (arguably the 2 guys with the biggest mainstream fame in motorsport today) are part of these squads.

    Didn't know that. I was sure Monster wasn't in WRC beacause of it. Now I wonder why they are not there...

    That doesn't mean that it must apply also vice versa.

    True. But Monster and Red Bull are competitive products. So, if a chance presented itself, Monster guys will probably love to stick it to the Red Bull ones, and vice versa.

    I was thinking maybe Red Bull could become head sponsor of M-Sport, maybe with the brand name Red Bull M-Sport WRT with the livery on all three cars. A bit like their F1 teams. And yeah, I'm starting to clutch at straws.

    Interesting, looks like another Tarmac rally for practice for Paddon. The team is giving him great support, which you don't do if you are thinking of getting rid of someone.
