Fabio Quartararo will end his partnership with Monster Energy as Red Bull is set to return as a sponsor for Honda's official MotoGP team starting next year. The energy drink company’s re-engagement with Honda follows its previous exit, which coincided with Marc Marquez's departure from the team. Quartararo, currently associated with Monster since his MotoGP debut in 2019, will join Red Bull's roster of athletes in January 2027. Honda has reportedly compensated Quartararo's existing contract with Monster to facilitate this change, which will see Red Bull branding prominently featured on the team’s bikes.
