F1: New schedule for the race in Australia

In the absence of 31 days for the start of the 2009 season of Formula 1, we know the schedule of the Grand Prix at Albert Park Australia.

This year, this crisis ... must see as noted, have thought about changing all of the grand prize schedules to be more attractive to the European audience, which as you know we had to get up early enough with this Grand Prix. This is to also increase the audience ahead of the Friday practice and qualifying on Saturday test.

Local time Grand Prix of Australia:

• Friday first practice session 12:30 to 14:00
• Second session of Friday practice 16:30 to 18:00
• Third Saturday practice session 14:00 to 15:00
• The qualification will take place on Saturday from 17:00 to 18:00 hours
• On Sunday the race will take place from approximately 17:00 to 18:35.

By my count we have 10 time zones (CET) so the qualifying and the race would be at 7 am, still early morning but somewhat less. If we plan on what you would like to Ecclestone that it is tried to be a night race, so far nothing at all, and also with Malaysia.

Regarding the timing, you know, these are not final and may change the 31 days, not enough to be the grand prize at night but put it back at noon local time.
