Renault seems to have gone through the WEC-like "brand colors & identity" way and currently lacks a big sponsor.
With current regulations and yearly price of the engines for customers, this is absolutely impossible. 2021 engines will be cheaper but 2-3 customer teams probably won't ever cover the development costs.

I'd argue Red Bull is the sponsor there with Tag-Heuer on as an associate and engine branding sponsor.
Renault has had that problem a while, the ING Renault was the last external sponsor I remember, Geneii were the owners, then Lotus (sister company branding in JPS colors) and back to Renault.
