Number 2 Son lives nearby and the golf Golf Academy where he teaches golf closes down for the week as it's inside the Grand Prix circuit.

Is that an extra holiday for him then?

Not really, he does corporate groups regularly and is just back from three days with a group golfing in Tasmania.

Hughie, Im not the biggest F-1 fan in the World, to predictable these days. I have to say this though, Melbourne is a dream come true for sports fans when you can add the Melbourne Cup horse race and the Australian Open Tennis Championships.

Right off topic, Tasmania is a very "in place" these days so i have learned .

Delighted that Ferrari won the Melbourne Grand Prix. Hopefully it will continue each week!☺

Another success today for Vettel and Ferrari. First place. Merit of Vettel or Ferrari? Hope it continues!

First couple of laps and I lose interest, 'cause it usually starts around 11PM on a Sunday night. Zzzzz

I agree, it's the most boring "sport" to watch, I couldn't sit through it. Just like to know who arrives first, hopefully Ferrari.
