Excitement in Melbourne

There is a big surprise in Australia this week with the news that longtime Australian Grand Prix media chief Geoff Harris is leaving the operation just a few days before the event. It is not clear what has caused the rupture but there is obvciously trouble behind the scenes. Harris has been a safe pair of hands in Melbourne since he joined the organisation back in 1997. The role is to be taken over by Harris's assistants Fiona Taylor and Kirsty Nicholls.
