Williams F1 Team driver Nico Rosberg is concerned about the later start time of the Malaysian Grand Prix this season. According to the German, the fact that the Sepang race will only start at 5pm local time, could cause visibility problems, especially when the weather is poor.

The Australian race started at 5pm local time as well and this to attract the European viewer. But Rosberg declared that the descending sun already caused a visibility problem for him at Melbourne.

He said: “In Melbourne I found this a big concern as towards the end of the race the visibility was very poor, which increased the danger in my view as it was more likely that you could make a mistake.

"I’d rather the race changed back to its original start time or became a proper night race - that would improve matters a lot."
