KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 8 (Bernama) -- “You couldn't think about the Mercedes Formula 1 team without Petronas."
That was how Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One (F1) Team principal Toto Wolff summed up a partnership that began as a marketing collaboration 16 years ago but has since evolved into an integral part of the team's identity and engineering pursuit.
Wolff said that from powering championship-winning machinery to developing fuel technology for F1's new technical era, Petronas' role has grown far beyond that of a conventional sponsor, describing the relationship today as a "completely integrated organisation".
"We hope that we make Malaysia proud also with that relationship. We've won so many World Championships and races together," he told Bernama in an exclusive interview recently.
