KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - Formula One is losing one of its toughest races with the departure of Malaysia from the calendar after this weekend's grand prix, triple world champion Lewis Hamilton said on Tuesday. "It is definitely sad to think this is the last race," the Briton told a news conference organised by his Mercedes team's Malaysian oil sponsor Petronas. "It's the most challenging for the car and the team, so they are taking away one of the toughest, if not the toughest, Grand Prix of the season, which will be hard to replace." A driver loses around three litres of body fluid in sweat during the 90 minutes of an average Malaysian Grand Prix, according to Mercedes' data. Hamilton had a nightmare at Sepang last year when he suffered an engine failure while leading the race from pole position.
