LONDON (Reuters) - Formula One's American bosses have hired boxing announcer Michael Buffer to bring some big fight buzz to the title tussle between Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel at this month's U.S. Grand Prix. "Now is my time to introduce the world's finest racing drivers," Buffer, 72, said in a Formula One statement on Saturday. Saturday's qualifying session will start later than last year to bring the session closer to a Justin Timberlake concert at the circuit. Liberty want to grow the sport in North America, a region they have identified as full of undeveloped potential. There has been talk of adding a second U.S. race to the calendar after 2018.
