@pawel567like you understand the issue? for example the advertising boards around the track are usually what it is in real life. now you add a circuit from long time ago and put it in the F1 licenensed game there would be some questions regarding the sponsorship in game. Im not an expert in this case but could imagine things like aramco or pirelli who could perhabs claim they should run the sponsors of the circuit. just a thought but this is basically what we are talking about.
Or simply FOM fearing since its the licensed game that brands could potetially claim rights for exlusive sponsorships in the f1 game.

@Wollcott you seem to be right, it could be a long legal battle between Liberty Media/FOM and EA/Codemasters even if they decided to put up themselves as sponsors around the track, not mentioning if EA/CM tried to find sponsorship outside LM/FOM.
