SEPANG, Malaysia (Reuters) - Formula One championship leader Lewis Hamilton was handed a lucky break in Singapore but the Mercedes driver can take little more than the heat and humidity for granted in Malaysia this weekend. But the 32-year-old will still be wary of Sepang, hosting its final race before Malaysia drops off the calendar, after last year's engine failure struck while he was leading from pole. Hamilton won four of the five races after Malaysia last year but it was still not enough to stop team mate Nico Rosberg taking the title. Australian Daniel Ricciardo led Dutch team mate Max Verstappen, 20 on Saturday, in a one-two finish for the former champions. "My victory last year in Malaysia was definitely unexpected," said Ricciardo, who was second in Singapore.
