Not having exact info on how M-Sport operates with sponsors, but why don't they try something like Nascar teams do? There many cars run with a main sponsor for selected rounds, and on the other ones it appears on the car as an associate sponsor only. Could M-Sport pull something like that, e.g. if some company has money only to be main sponsor for 3 rallies, then they get to be on 3 events, or 2 events for full title sponsor and on the rest they appear on the car in a smaller scale? Might be a stupid idea, just always wondered why they don't try something like that. OK, there would not be a fixed team identity with changing colours and etc, but that might come back with different merch for each sponsor.

Dirtfish: Mikkelsen is keen to try and get some seat-time in a Rally1 car too. This would most likely be with M-Sport, which is yet to confirm its driver line-up for any of the WRC rounds next year.
“I’m working towards that as well,” Mikkelsen said. “Let’s see if we can make that happen, I would need some sponsors and investors maybe but I’m working on that.”

M-Sport
There remains some tough times ahead, but we want to reassure all of our customers, partners and fans that M-Sport remains open for business. Our engineers and technicians are preparing for the season opener at Rallye Monte-Carlo, and parts are still being shipped globally to ensure our customers have everything they need to prepare their own programmes.
We extend our heartfelt wishes to everyone affected by the global pandemic and everyone working on the front lines. There is light at the end of the tunnel, and if we all work together and adhere to the provisions set by our governments the sooner we can get back to fully enjoying the sport we all love.

'Preparing for Rallye Monte Carlo' but still tight-lipped on their WRC1 driver entry though.
Fingers-crossed they can get the deals done but my money is on just Greensmith & Fourmaux.

Our striking 2020 livery will also be carried forward to 2021, albeit with a few subtle changes - a new roof motif prominent amongst these changes and extending the popular design with further flashes of blue #WRC #MSPORTERS
such a shame cause the were the only ones who were gonna change if anything.#8 Ott Tänak - Martin Järveoja #8
