Ecclestone stands by 'fake rain'

Formula 1 chief Bernie Ecclestone says there is growing support for using sprinkler systems to wet F1 tracks in order to make races more entertaining.
Despite opposition from drivers such as Red Bull's Mark Webber, Ecclestone said: "There's no reason why sprinklers shouldn't happen.
"There's so much support because wet races are always the best by far."
Ecclestone also suggested McLaren's English duo Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button could "struggle" this season.
McLaren have been off the pace of front-runners Red Bull and Ferrari in practice, with the season-opening Australian Grand Prix set to take place in Melbourne on Sunday.
