Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad has said he wants Formula One to return to the country, but there have been no talks with the sport's owners, according to Sepang circuit boss Razlan Razali.
"The interest in grand prix is still very big and we want to bring back the race here, because it has stimulated many Malaysians to go into the automotive industry,"Razali said he met Mahathir socially last weekend and pointed out the obstacles. "So he said, ‘Yeah. That’s fine. It’s just the press keeps on asking me and I said one day we’ll come back.’"
"At the end of the day, we could want it back and they don’t want us. That could be a scenario," Razali accepted.
