Found this image in The Race article about Addias. Is Mastercard at Mercedes instead of Mclaren now?

I believe they were in talks with Mastercard who pulled out and signed with McLaren instead shortly after the Austrian GP.

That picture was ironically taken from the paddock at the Red Bull Ring.
Curious, why do these companies only back one team? Is there a rule? Why arent their logos on multiple teams at the same time? Sure there is a cost, but if you have the money.... I just find it surprising each brand seems forced to always pick one team every time.

Sponsoring two teams is twice as expensive but would not yield twice the value. The difference between no sponsorship and sponsoring one team is night and day in terms of exposure, but adding another team would have diminishing returns in terms of exposure and be confusing for fans.

Well Tezos was on Mclaren and RedBull at the same time, Richard Mille at Mclaren and Haas, and i believe Sauber also had something in common with Mclaren (Huski) in recent years. In the past though, Marlboro, Camel,West and Mild seven were on multiple cars and plastered all over everywhere. But those were different times.
If i would get the money to start my own F1 team, i would revive Arrows
