"The new Mercedes team, formed following the German carmaker’s recent purchase of Brawn GP, has announced Malaysian national oil and gas company Petronas as its title sponsor. Under a newly-signed long-term agreement, the German squad plan to compete as the Mercedes GP Petronas Formula One Team next season."

I suppose it's a minefield to arrange sponsors - e.g. Shell might have something to say if it discovered your secondary sponsor's major shareholder was BP!
