I have to admit I find it oddly satisfying, as an Adelaide-born F1 fan, to see that the Melbourne Grand Prix may soon be no longer. As everyone (read: every Adelaide F1 fan) knows, Melbourne (under the leadership of the idiotic Jeff Kennett) unceremoniously stole the Australian Grand Prix from Adelaide a few years ago, and it simply has not been the same since. Having driven and walked both the Adelaide and Melbourne tracks and having been to the Adelaide Grand Prix once myself, I can’t understand how anyone would think Melbourne was the better venue. But I am clearly biased.

I am incredibly excited about the possibility of a Singapore Grand Prix, now officially going ahead in September of this year. Not only will it be held on the city streets of Singapore, but it will be the first night race in F1 history - how fantastic is that? If I thought Rob and I would be able to afford a holiday in Singapore in September (when I’m instead supposed to be starting my MSc Architecture at Edinburgh) we would already have our tickets booked. Anyone that can afford the time and the money to make it to the Singapore GP should jump at the chance to witness formula one history in the making.
