Valtteri Bottas Declares 'Teamwork' is the Magic Ingredient in the Winning Formula as he Visits $27 Billion Megaproject in Malaysia
PENGERANG, Malaysia, Oct. 23, 2019 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

After writing F1(TM) history with a sixth consecutive double title, 
Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Motorsport 
[https://www.mercedesamgf1.com/en/mercedes-amg-f1/ ] driver, Valtteri Bottas 
believes: "We still need to keep pushing. The key to winning is teamwork."  

The Finn (30), who is challenging for the F1 Drivers' Championship at this 
weekend's F1(TM) Mexican Grand Prix, was given a preview of Pengerang 
Integrated Complex (PIC) – a $27 billion megaproject in Johor, built by the 
Formula One team's Title Sponsor and Technical Partner, PETRONAS 
[https://www.petronas.com/ ].

"Since I joined and started to learn more about PETRONAS, I've been really 
impressed by the work ethic of the staff. Obviously, that's helping to bring 
the results," said Valtteri.

Valtteri was given a guided tour of the 6,239-acre complex by Datin Anita 
Azrina Abdul Aziz, Head of Stakeholder, Communication and Risk Management 
Division at PETRONAS Refinery and Petrochemical Corporation (PRPC). After 
visiting PIC's Main Control Building, Solid Product Warehouse and Centralised 
Laboratory, Valtteri saw first-hand the innovative technology that will enable 
PETRONAS to supply energy and commodity petrochemical products in Asia over the 
next two decades.

"Our mantra at PIC is One Team, One Goal. Much like at Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS 
Motorsport, teamwork and talent development is fundamental to a project's 
success, so discovering that we share these values has been really inspiring," 
said Datin Anita.

Dr. Colin Wong, PETRONAS SVP and CEO of PRPC and PRefChem commented, "We aspire 
to be at the forefront of technology and innovation across the energy value 
chain and PIC brings us closer to prime position in achieving that goal. We are 
proud of our new facility and have enjoyed giving Valtteri a preview of our 
extensive operations."

PETRONAS' largest downstream investment in Malaysia, PIC is positioned to be 
the regional downstream oil and gas industrial hub and will pave a new frontier 
of technology and economic development in the Southeast Asia region.

With a refining capacity of 300,000 barrels of crude per day, it will produce a 
range of refined petroleum products, including gasoline and diesel that meet 
Euro 5 fuel specifications. The refinery and selected petrochemical plants are 
owned and operated by Pengerang Refining and Petrochemical (PRefChem), a 
strategic alliance between PETRONAS and Saudi Aramco through an equal 
partnership in two joint venture companies.
