Changes to the F1 timetable?

There are rumours that there will be further change to the timetable of Grand Prix weekends with the afternoon sessions on Fridays and Saturdays being pushed back an hour so that they take place between 14.00 and 15.00. At the moment these sessions start at 13.00 and run until 14.00. This will be helpful for the TV companies so that the programming does not clash with lunch time. The teams are understood to be happy with the idea and we hear that this will be announced after the forthcoming meeting on January 15.
