The start time for the Australia Grand Prix, scheduled for Sunday, March 16, may be moved to an earlier hour due to the possibility of heavy rain, RacingNews365 reports.

Even though currently there is no forecast indicating intense rainfall, the FIA is closely monitoring the weather conditions and preparing alternative plans in case of delays.

The situation is complicated by the fact that a significant delay is not possible given the early sunset at Albert Park. The race is set to begin at 15:00 local time, while sunset is at 19:39. The drivers were informed about it at a briefing held after the practice sessions on Friday. Additionally, discussions regarding the operation of the safety car took place.

The start of the Australia Grand Prix is set for tomorrow, March 16, at 07:00 GMT+3.
