Aston Martin is looking to sponsor team force India I believe. It could bring developments into a new engine perhaps. This news broke this past weekend at the Mexican GP so it's still talks

I'm not a F1 follower but I've seen rumors that RB was looking to use VW/Audi engines to replace Renault.  But then the whole VW diesel fiasco happened and any kind of extracurricular funding has gone the way of the dodo.

I'd love to see another big sponsor step into the MotoGP ring though.  Would be great for the sport and RB is really good with promoting everything.  In fact, I'm a bit surprised that they aren't in there already.

Monster wouldn't like that.  Would either have to pony up money to keep Red Bull out or bow out themselves.

Doesn't RB already sponsor the Rookies Cup?

Yep.

Numerous riders too.

And title sponsor of the MotoGP events at COTA, Argentina, and Indy this year.

Doh, you guys are right... def a lot more involvement than I realized:

And I'm not sure if Monster could do anything if RB became the main sponsor to a team.

Interesting that both Monster and RB seem to sponsor the Yammy team.

That website page is a bit unclear.

AFAIK, the riders they show are the ones they sponsor.

They show all 14 MotoGP teams, irrespective of sponsorship.

The pics of the Yamaha factory team include a photo of JLo on the bike, 3 Monster logos are visible.
And both Rossi and JLo are wearing Monster hats in their pics.
Monster Yamaha Tech3 wouldn't get any RB money.

Like Speeddog said Monster Yamaha is Tech 3.

Factory Yamaha is Moviestar. Rossi and Lorenzo personally sponsored by Monster with RB kicking in to the team...according to RB.

IIRC Tech3 has been sponsored by Monster for a long time. The factory Yamaha riders had different personal sponsors. Then this happened:

http://www.motogp.com/en/news/2013/01/09/monster-energy-sponsors-yamaha-factory-racing-team/160407

At least one of the riders had to drop their personal sponsors.

So how does RedBull fit in?

They lost one of the riders. They went to the Honda boys. If they become the main sponsor for any specific team, then the personal sponsorship might be an issue, but I doubt it since Monster continues to sponsor multiple teams and riders.

I guess I meant the claim on the RedBull website that they sponsor Team Yamaha.
