Drivers give backing to Australian GP

Date March 14, 2008

A number of outlets are reporting that Formula One drivers have given their backing for the Australian Grand Prix to be retained on the Formula One calendar.

Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone has threatened to ditch the race from the schedule after 2010 unless organisers agree to stage it at night to suit European television.

But the drivers, many of whom made their race debuts at the season-opening event at Melbourne’s Albert Park, say they hope it survives.
