Ecclestone calls for Australian GP time change

F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone has called for the Australian GrandPrix organizers to change the race start time. The race currently starts at 5PM local time however Ecclestone wants the race to become a night race like Singapore. The current race deal in Melbourne runs until 2015 and Ecclestone has hinted that if the race organizers do not agree to change the time of the race the Australian GrandPrix could return to Adelaide.

The race organizers have stated that the cost involved in changing the race to a night race would be overwhelming not to mention the environmental impact that it would have on the local area.

I beleiev that the race should be kept at the the time it is at the moment because I know myself, I love getting up early for the Australian GrandPrix because to me that's what all the fly-away races are all about.
