I am 67-68 kgs now but after putting on my kit I weigh around 71-72 kgs. I lost a kg-and-a-half in Hungary and in Malaysia, where the conditions are hot, I lost 4 kgs," the McLaren-Mercedes driver said Saturday at a promotional event for Vodafone. <br /><br />The heat in India will be a challenge for the racers. I am feeling as if I am in a furnace. But I hope the Grand Prix takes place here as people have a lot of interest in the sport. I had visited Mumbai last year and witnessed similar enthusiasm among the people."
