Except when M-Sport can hire a top driver (Ogier, Loeb, Tanak) their strategy is to develop promising young drivers. Mikkelsen is not in either catagory, and Solberg's possible issue is his Monster sponsorship.

I don't think Red Bull will be a problem..
Didn't they come only because Tanak joined M-Sport? Without him I doubt Pumas would be covered with RB logos.

Fourmaux would deserve a 2nd decent rally1 chance!
Fourmaux full season.
Loubet wrc2 championship and some wrc1 outings.
Than they should go for Oliver Solberg, has speed, and can bring monster.

Their strategy is to make buck, not hire top drivers or develop young ones. That's their customer's choice. If Mikkelsen turns up with a Red Bull cap on or Solberg with a Monster cap, I'm sure they will embrace either.
They came in because nobody else did, that's their job. If they refuse Monster, they'll have to cover the hole, so I agree, it shouldn't be a problem. Pumas had Red Bulls in 2022, and Fiestas before too, didn't stop Greensmith and Loubet, etc, wearing different colours.

Possibility too that a car, two or a team carries EA logos next year. That'd be refreshing.

Now when RedBull is Ford's factory team in F1 I really doubt they would let M-Sport to have Monster sponsorship of any kind.
