An unforgettable experience for eight UTP students who had done their internship at Mercedes AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team (MAMGP F1 Team) as they received the 2014 F1 Constructors and Drivers World Championship.

They achieved such an amazing feat during the course of 8 months of intern at MAMGP F1 Team from 30 September 2013 to 17 April 2014 at Brackley, United Kingdom. That was far a way from home folks!

Throughout their internship, the interns worked hard and made an all-out effort so that the tasks and responsibilities assigned to them in ensuring the winning F1 car, Mercedes F1 W05 Hybrid Car, was constructed and fabricated in its optimum performance level.

“We are very proud to have assisted MAMGP F1 Team with the technical and practical capabilities learned during our study in UTP. We hope that this internship program with MAMGP F1 Team will continue for many years to come and more students representing UTP will value the experience and knowledge gained from their internship,” said Wong Yoong Xiang.
