KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) -Malaysian oil company Petronas will remain long-term title sponsors and technical partners of the Mercedes Formula One team after announcing on Wednesday a multi-year contract extension from 2026.

Mercedes have won the last eight constructors' titles and have been with Petronas since they returned to the sport with their own team in 2010.
