F1 to move US Grand Prix to later date

Texas: Formula One officials said the renewal of the US Grand Prix in Austin in 2012 is likely to be run in November instead of June when temperatures will be much cooler.

Tavo Hellmund, chairman of the US Grand Prix, said on Wednesday that pushing the race back several months is a sign Formula One wants the race to be successful.

The race date change won't be official until the revised 2012 calendar is ratified later this year.

The change gives organizers more time to build the $ 200 million Circuit of the Americas track. Formula One hasn't raced the US Grand Prix since 2007 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
