F1's milestone 1,000th will roar off in China

BARCELONA - Formula One bosses considered moving next year's British Grand Prix back to April so that Silverstone could host the 1,000th championship race, but that honor will go to China instead, according to the sport's managing director Sean Bratches.

Bratches said at last weekend's Spanish Grand Prix that the British weather made the rescheduling impractical.

Silverstone, which hosted the first Formula One championship race in 1950, will host this year's British GP on July 8.
