Mar.22 (GMM) The boss of the Sepang circuit near Kuala Lumpur says Malaysia wants to host formula one races beyond the expiration of the current contract.
Sepang chairman Datuk Mokhzani Tun Mahathir revealed that he was telephoned by a reporter this week asking if he was worried about F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone's recent negotiations with officials for a Singapore grand prix. "I replied that we have the mandate from the (Malaysian) Prime Minister and the government to negotiate the hosting of F1 beyond 2010," the Bernama news agency quoted him as saying. He insisted: "So, I have that mandate and we are talking to F1 management about that." Sepang, located near Kuala Lumpur, began staging F1 races in 1999. Dakut Mokhzani Tun Mahathir said two meetings with Ecclestone about a contract extension had already taken place since last September. "It's up to the management of F1 to make a decision," he added.
