Melbourne has retained its Formula One Grand Prix for seven more years, until 2015. The city has been hosting the race every year since 1996.

As part of the new agreement, a later timeslot has been taken into consideration in order to accommodate European television audiences: next year’s race will start at 5pm on Sunday 29 March 2009.

The Formula One Grand Prix is one of the jewels in Melbourne’s high-profile events calendar. Last year’s race attracted more than 300,000 spectators to the inner-city Lake Albert street circuit, one of the best-attended races on the calendar.
