Organisers of the Australian Grand Prix at the Albert Park
circuit in Melbourne have confirmed that a clause in their contract stipulates
that they will host the Formula One season opener until at least 2020.
AGPC Chief Executive Officer Andrew Westacott confirmed that
the agreement with Formula One Management also stipulates that the race is held
during daylight hours and this will remain the case.
There had been calls in recent years for the event to become
a night race to full in line with European television audiences however this
idea has been rejected. The 2015 Formula One season gets underway next weekend.
