Lewis Hamilton is not feeling sentimental about the 1,000-race milestone Formula One is celebrating at this weekend's Chinese Grand Prix.
The measurement of that figure has been questioned this week, although Sunday's race will be the 1,000th time since 1950 there has been a race awarding points towards an overall world championship. F1 has created some fanfare around the occasion and several drivers are expected to carry some one-off helmet designs for the weekend.
Hamilton, the reigning world champion and a man who has started 231 and won 74 of those races, says the occasion means little to him and that his only focus is on claiming his second victory of the season.
