Grand Prix week has a way of slowly settling over Melbourne. You notice it in small details at first. Interesting cars appearing around the city, hotel bars filling with visitors who have arrived a little early, an overall sense that the weekend ahead might be more indulgent than usual.
I’ve always enjoyed the atmosphere this time of year. There is something about it that encourages people to slow down slightly, pour a glass of champagne and allow an evening to unfold without watching the clock.
Some weekends pass without much distinction. This one rarely does.
My Grand Prix weekend bookings are now open and I’m looking forward to seeing what the city brings with it.
