The start to this season's Malaysian GP has been delayed to 5pm local time, according to the FIA.
There had been talk last year about Malaysia joining Singapore in hosting a night race, however, the Sepang bosses were against the idea due to the cost of setting up the lighting system.
Instead a compromise has been reach whereby the race will start at 5pm local time, which means the grand prix will begin at 9am GMT.
