Jazeman tunes up need for more strategic planning in hosting big races  


PETALING JAYA: Motorsports fans across the country let out a sigh of disappointment after it was reaffirmed that Formula One would not be returning to Sepang anytime soon.

On Thursday, Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yoeh told the Parliament that Malaysia had no immediate plans to host Formula One races, as it would require RM300mil annually, and a binding contract of between three to five years with Liberty Media, the commercial rights holder.
