PETRONAS' continued involvement as the main sponsor of MotoGP is under discussion with Tan Sri Tengku Muhammad Taufik Tengku Aziz, the President and Group Chief Executive Officer of Petronas. Deputy Prime Minister, Dr. Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, shared this during a meeting with MotoGP Executive Director Carmelo Ezpeleta. Ezpeleta expressed his hope that Petronas would continue its sponsorship, stating that it would be the company's final year as an organiser.
However, in other countries, national or local oil companies fulfill this role. Ezpeleta wishes for Malaysia's name to be associated with both Petronas and MotoGP. Dr. Zahid, after attending a MotoGP Casual Chat Session attended by over 3,000 fans, acknowledged the high sponsorship costs but is exploring alternative methods to secure Petronas' continued role as MotoGP's main sponsor.
