[QUOTE="ALBundy, post: 391761, member: 15"] At the end of the day, I echo what erica34 said. Having spoken to an ex BMW formula staff, the main reason for Petronas to tie up with a "car manufacturer" is to get its oil into their engines, just like what was done previously with BMW. Not only does Petronas gets maximum visibility, but also plenty of credibility, more so tying up with a premium car manufacturer. Brawn GP CEO, Nick Fry was the first to meet Petronas when BMW announced their withdrawal from F1, months ago but there was no deal then as Petronas was not interested in independent teams. Business wise, it makes perfect sense and syabas to Petronas for making the country proud. [/QUOTE]
