Australian Formula One Grand Prix chief Andrew Westacott on Friday vowed to fight to keep the race in Melbourne after reports that Sydney wanted to poach it when its contract expires in 2025.
Westacott reiterated the race was locked into Melbourne until 2025 at least and said he was confident of extending the contract further. “I don’t think it has any legs, but I also don’t doubt that there is activity there,” he told AFP of Sydney sniffing around.
