The Victorian Government are not taking their duty of care seriously in regards to the Coronavirus and the Grand Prix. They are allowing the Grand Prix to go ahead despite two of the major race teams coming over from their home base in Modena, Italy.  Both Ferrari and AlphaTauri teams, as well as the tyre supplier Pirelli are based within a few short km's from the epicentre of the coronavirus in Italy.  They will be travelling with over 100 team staff and crew each as well as any supporters.

PM Scott Morrison said a final decision on the staging of the grand prix at Albert Park remains a matter for the Victorian government.

Organisers of the race insisted earlier in the week the race would go ahead as planned until they were advised otherwise by experts they were in consultation with, including Victorian and national chief health officers and the Australian Health Protection principal committee.
