Race times

F1 bosses are looking at changing the start times of grands prix to boost TV audience. All race starts could be shifted back to 1510hrs, about one hour later than usual. Traditionally European races have started at 1400hrs, but F1 heads and TV broadcasters have held meetings to amend the timetable. The additional 10-minute shift would help broadcasters in America, particularly, with the need to show adverts before the race start.
