Red Bull returns to Honda MotoGP, Quartararo loses Monster deal

Sponsorship conflicts in MotoGP are a real constraint on rider movement, and this is a clean example of how a brand deal at team level can override a rider's personal arrangements. Red Bull's return to Honda effectively makes Quartararo's Monster backing incompatible, since the two energy drink rivals cannot share the same garage. It's a reminder that when a manufacturer restructures its commercial partnerships, riders carry the consequences regardless of how long-standing their own deals are.
